Dads House COVID-19 report 2020
This year has been another extraordinary year for Dads House, with 2020 marking 12 years since DadsHouse was first founded.

Urgent appeal for food bank donations
We are making an urgent appeal to raise £40,000 so that we can keep our food bank running.

We have provided over 240,000 meals since March 2020. However we need your help to keep fighting hunger.
