LADS NEED DADS

Founded in 2015 and based in Tendring, North East Essex, Lads Need Dads CIC is an award winning Not-For-Profit Community Interest Company, set up to prevent potential problems and address existing ones where boys are missing a father-figure in their lives.

We provide:

  • A male-led group Mentoring Programme
  • Bush-craft survival training and outdoor activities
  • Practical lifeskill training
  • Access to inspirational male speakers
  • Community Volunteering opportunities
  • Leadership and Peer mentoring opportunities
  • Ongoing open-ended support
  • Family support service
  • Reading mentor programme

Lads Need Dads is currently one of the only projects in the UK that works proactively to address the impact of the absent father on boys aged 10-18 and whose approach is both early intervention and long-term. This is something to be proud of and at the same time, a cause for real concern.
