🎪 MBD went to the Circus! 🎪

A huge thank you to Circus Starrfor inviting MBD families along for a fantastic evening out.

Everyone had an amazing time watching the incredible performances, laughing at the funny characters and enjoying all the excitement that the circus had to offer. There were smiles from start to finish!

Opportunities like this create special memories for our families and give children the chance to experience something truly magical.

Thank you once again to Circus Starr for your kindness and generosity – we had a brilliant time! 🎉🤹‍♀️🎭

A massive thank you to everyone who has donated their old ink cartridges!!

Together we've helped keep 408,445 kg of cartridges out of landfill, and we've raised £21.50 for MBD through the recycling scheme.

Our new collection box has arrived and is waiting on the windowsill on the stairs, so please keep dropping your cartridges in.

Every cartridge helps, and we're really grateful for your support! 💙

Huge congratulations to our very own Best Brewer Upper dad, Rob 👏🦸‍♂️

This recognition is so well deserved. Rob gives so much of his time, creativity and energy to support dads and families through Men Behaving Dadly, always helping behind the scenes, supporting sessions, designing creative work and championing the group in the community.

We see first-hand how supportive, encouraging and genuinely passionate he is about helping others and being a brilliant dad, and we’re incredibly proud to see him recognised as a Hidden Hero 💙

Well done Rob – a fantastic dad, a creative talent and a huge asset to the group 👏

🦸‍♂️ Super-dad from Derker is our May Hidden Hero

👏 One of our customers who goes above and beyond volunteering at a local dads charity is our May Hidden Hero. Robert Prestwich from Derker has been helping out at Men Behaving Dadly (MBD) since 2019.

👨‍💻 The graphic designer uses his skills to help the charity, sets up sessions and often represents it at community events – all in his own time.

📸 Robert received his certificate and a £50 shopping voucher from our Funding and Social Value Officer Kevin Field. He said he was humbled to receive the award.
