Blackpool Better Start, a £45 million, ten-year programme funded by the Lottery Community Fund to improve the outcomes for children aged birth to four in Blackpool, is leading the way in engagement with dads in the UK.
We know that dads are central to the emotional well-being of their children, and an affectionate, supportive dad makes a huge contribution to a child’s cognitive, language and social development. With this in mind we continue to explore innovative ways of engaging with dads across the town.
