What the Fathers Forum is here to do:

The Fathers Forum is a project run by the NLMCC and sponsored by Sure Start. The project aims to achieve better outcomes for fathers and their children by;

• increasing the interactivity and bond between father and child;
• providing a safe and enjoyable environment for fathers and their  children;
• improving health and emotional development for young children;
• supporting men in their aspirations towards being a better and more involved father.

How will we achieve our aims?
We will achieve our aims by;

• organising indoor and outdoor events throughout the year which    fathers and their children can attend
• incorporating activities and planning within our events to promote better health and interactivity for father and child
• organising parenting sessions for fathers to educate and improve their   understanding of their children and fatherhood.

Our achievements so far?
We have achieved and planned the following:

• an outdoor event to Paradise Wildlife Park
• indoor events to Kids Mania and Zoomaround (many more to come)
• 2 indoor events that contained games and activities (i.e. pass the parcel, quiz, calligraphy, nasheed chairs, lucky dip etc. including various prizes, food and drink)
• a parenting sessions on fatherhood (3 more planned for 08/09)
