Sends 4 Dads
We are a community group that has been running since 2015 supporting dads/male carers that have a child with special educational needs and/or a disability.
Caring for a child with a disability and/or special need can present certain challenges throughout someone’s life.
The vast majority of support groups are mainly aimed at mothers/female carers and those that are mixed generally do not allow fathers/male carers to feel comfortable enough to talk about their own situations.
The main aims of our group is to :
• Provide social opportunities for dads/male carers to get together with people in similar circumstances
• Ensure members have access to social media avenues to discuss issues/celebrate successes
• Look at events for the family or for dads/male carers to bond with their children in an environment where there are other dads which makes them more comfortable in their environment.
