WHAT
WE DO
As well as running a 1,900 member-strong group, we arrange various activities and events throughout the year.
SUPPORT & ADVICE.
Our Facebook group boasts 2000 active members who offer one other advice and support to get through daily struggles. From dealing with grief, to debt advice and even family-courts, there is no subject untouched. None of our members are professionals, just men who have been through it themselves.
We support various local organisations as well as organise events to get our members more involved and feel part of something special.
Sea
Dips
Every Sunday, no matter if its rain or shine, you will find a selection of our members taking an hour out of their day for some water therapy by taking a plunge in the sea on one of our local beaches.
Group
Sessions
Come along to one of our local group sessions where we discuss the stigmas around mental health and how we can all help each other. We also invite guest speakers to share their experiences and advice.
Allotment Work
We have access to two local allotments that we regularly maintain. This is a great way to get some fresh air and meet like minded members. We're always looking for new volunteers.
Football
Matches
During the footballing season, we organise 'friendly' matches with other men's mental health groups from across South Wales. If you fancy a kickabout and want to get out of the house for a few hours, let us know.
Food
Pantry
In a post-pandemic world, the food pantry is a lifeline for many families. Each week Lads & Dads help transport the much need supplies across the Bridgend County.
Community
Support
You'll often find us at community events for schools and sports clubs, engaging with young men and encouraging them to speak freely about mental health.
