Our Eastwood Dads Group aims to be fun, interactive and supportive, providing a community of like-minded dads with opportunity to discuss and address the importance of being an involved and effective father or father-figure, and creating better outcomes for our children. Father-figures are also welcome – like uncles, grandfathers, coaches, teachers, etc. NB: Must be over 18 years. The key role of the Dads Group is to plan and host activities within our local school community to bring our fathering community together. 

Activities are chosen and planned by the dads in our group. Popular activities include barbecues, special events and dad catch-ups. 

Whilst COVID19 put a hold on our group gatherings ove the past few years, the activities undertaken by the Dads Group typically includes:

• Two ‘Dads and their Children’ activities per school year

• Two ‘Dads Only’ activities per school year

• The Fathering Project official events on the website and home activity ideas
