EPIC Centre Re-opening

Hi EPIC Dads,
Hope you and your family are all keeping safe and well.
I’m pleased to share that we have recently re-opened the EPIC Centre. Things will look a bit different and there will be a new timetable of activities. CLICK HERE to learn more. We will have hand sanitiser available and safety guidelines signs in the room to help us all stay safe. Also, all groups have to be booked in for beforehand through contacting me on email or phone to help us make sure numbers are manageable to maintain social distancing. We are hoping to begin groups with dads and children at the EPIC Centre in the coming months but to start with will focus on groups just for dads and male carers.

Hope to see you at the EPIC Centre soon!
Stay safe and speak soon, Rich.

Fatherhood Journals

We are now including our new Fatherhood Journals in our Survival Kits as another useful item to encourage new dads in their growing bond with their new baby. The idea is that they can record key events, special memories, and write words of love and encouragement to their child. The hope is that when their child is grown-up, dads will pass on these journals to them as a wonderful keepsake of the dad’s journey and experience in fatherhood and be part of the legacy they leave to the next generation.

EPIC Dad Baby Packs

Don’t forget baby packs are available for dads with babies/infants under 18 months. We provide free nappies, formula milk, baby food, etc. delivered to your home. We also have donated clothes, toys, and books available for young children. If this is something we can help you with, please email info@epicdad.co.uk
