Dads House receives Award from Prime Minister

Billy McGranaghan, from London, is the founder of ‘DadsHouse’, a charity providing practical support to single fathers across the UK.

The Founder of DadsHouse, William McGranaghan received a “point of light” award for his Community work from the Prime Minister 20th March 2019.

After supporting his son as a single parent, Billy realised the lack of provision for fathers raising their children alone, despite 400,000 fathers across the UK acting as their main carers. He established ‘DadsHouse’ in 2008 to provide practical support and advice for single fathers, such as parenting and mindfulness courses, as well as serving as a social hub to bring fathers and their children together. 

Billy is now working with Government to inform policy on supporting fathers in the workplace and early parenthood, working closely with the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Single Parents chaired by Rupa Huq MP. Billy’s award coincides with the Day of the Single Parent.
