We have three places in the 2024 Brighton 10K, we hope to use those places to raise funds and increase awareness of our essential work.
What is Dad La Soul:
Dad La Soul exists to orchestrate a revolution in the way that the stories and struggles of six million Dads in the UK are seen, heard, and supported.
One in five men has admitted that they have no close friends, as the UK becomes increasingly crippled by a loneliness epidemic. Source CALM.
At Dad La Soul we work to tackle social isolation through our dad-friendly playdates, with hundreds of families joining in with everything from age-appropriate stand-up comedy and rap workshops to bushcraft, guerrilla gardening, crafting, and soft play.
As well as our monthly playdates we also offer dad-friendly meet-ups, these successfully reimagine the traditional approach to men's mental health provision by creating innovative, safe, dad support groups to allow dads and male carers of all ages and socio-economic backgrounds to talk openly about their struggles.
We are currently offering our services in Brighton, Hove, Worthing, and Lewes. With new locations planned for 2024.
