Father Friendly Borough is about making Hackney a place where dads feel seen, supported and part of their child’s journey from day one.
Meet ups
We work with local dads to create spaces where they can connect, talk openly about mental health, share ideas on how services can be more welcoming for men, and learn simple ways to build strong bonds with their babies.
Coffee mornings for new and expectant fathers
Bring your baby, meet other dads, build community, and enjoy a coffee on us!
Every Wednesday from 10am to 12pm at Espresso Hut E9 6DF
Talk it Out
Get free, confidential 1-to-1 support from Aaron, our Father Friendly Borough lead. Talk about your mental health, parenting challenges, or anything that’s on your mind. Aaron will listen, offer practical advice, and connect you with local support if you need it.
