Celebrating 3 Years of the EPIC Centre

From October 2019 to September 2022, EPIC Dad CIC was pleased to offer an EPIC Centre in Risby (next to Bury St Edmunds) to support dads through groups, courses, and one-to-one mentoring, at a central location in West Suffolk. As the work has grown, which requires the project to be more mobile with groups and support offered as various locations, we have decided to close the centre. We are confident there will be many more EPIC Centres in the future providing Fatherhood Hubs for dads in different communities around the UK and beyond!
