Father and Child and Family Start Manukau appreciate that family agencies and their staff may need help with strategies and resources to support good dads and better fathering. Dads and families need encouragement, courses, information and events where they can learn together..

This year, we have worked together to plan and host events in the week of Fathers Day. We hope you can attend one of the events for professionals, share with your colleagues or for your clients/families with dads.

The ‘Bowling Evening for Dads Champions’ on Thursday 3rd August may also be of interest to Agency Professionals…Please see a printable timetable of events for the Week of Fathers’ Day…
