Leeds Dads is a voluntary organisation that offers parenting advice, friendship, and wellbeing support to dads across the city. Every year, they support over 1,000 dads through social events such as breakfast clubs, walks, soft play, and picnics.

Alongside national campaign group the Dad Shift, they are fighting for better paternity leave provisions for new fathers.
