Aim: Every week, 84 UK men take their lives. Dad La Soul is here to change that. Help us raise funds to build social lives that save lives.
Every week in the UK, 84 men take their own lives.
That’s not just a number. That’s 84 families shattered—84 communities left with a gaping hole.
We know what that moment feels like, and so do far too many people we know.
That is one of the reasons why we started Dad La Soul.
In the last seven years, we have helped more than 12,000 families.
We’ve brought dads back from the brink of despair.
We’ve made kids smile and had people aged 97 making friends with toddlers and adults with learning difficulties at massive afternoon raves.
Our innovative partnerships with tech hubs, museums, and art galleries have provided thousands of low-income families access to experiences they wouldn’t otherwise have.
SEE OUR IMPACT HERE >
We have helped dads learn and talk about everything from what men need to know about menopause to dealing with stroppy toddlers to coming to terms with post-natal depression and being the victim of childhood abuse.
We’ve built a movement for change.
But right now, Dad La Soul is on life support of its own.
The costs of keeping the lights on have skyrocketed, and traditional funding has dried up.
But here’s what happens when Dad La Soul thrives:
Imagine a world where no dad, anywhere, feels invisible.
Imagine dads in every city, every town, every village, walking into a Dad La Soul chapter and finding hope.
What We’re Fighting For
1. Sustaining Current Chapters: Worthing and Brighton chapters provide life-changing support to hundreds of dads every week.
We can’t afford to let these lifelines close.
2. Expanding Into New Communities: Tunbridge Wells, Eastbourne, and London are seeking help.
With your support, we can answer their calls for help.
3. Building for the Future: By training volunteers in suicide prevention and scaling our impact, we can ensure no dad is left behind.
That’s not just a dream. It’s the future we’re building—together.
But we can't do it alone; we need your help right now.
Be the reason that our door stays open.
If you can't donate cash, we understand times are hard; we get it.
Instead, please share this film/page and tag five mates who should see it.
Follow our revolution @dadlasoul on all socials. #GiveMe5Dad
And if you know a dad struggling—or even one who looks like he’s got it all sorted—reach out.
Tell him you know a place full of great fellas that can help, and send him our way.
Because sometimes, saving a life starts with something that simple.
