Fed up with not really having a social life or pals to talk to properly?
W ell, we're bringing our dads-only events to Brighton.
We know from personal experience and the thousands of conversations that we’ve had within our community just how hard it can be to find new friends as a dad.
The older you get, the smaller your social circle becomes, the more expensive babysitters are, and the hangovers worsen.
You catch up with your old mates on Facebook less and less. Your social life revolves around the friends your wife or partner has met on the school run and being thrown into a long-term relationship with their other halves.
If you are lucky, it can be great, and you will form lifelong friendships; however, for many dads groups like that don’t exist, which is why Dad La Soul does.
Our dad-friendly meetups are successfully reimagining the traditional approach to men's mental health provision by creating innovative, safe spaces to allow dads and male carers of all ages and socio-economic backgrounds to talk openly about their struggles.
Normally on a lad's night, you talk nonsense and pretend everything is alright, but instead, we laugh, take the friendly p*ss and, more importantly, talk openly about everything and anything.
We listen without prejudice. That, my friends, is something quite special.
Here's what we're up to in 2024 (at Propellernet unless stated):
29th February: Guest Speaker - Sam Wilson from The Early Birth Association
28th March: Guest Speaker - Clare Kennedy from Kennedy Street Recovery
25th April: 'Dads on Tour' Location to be Announced
30th May: DJ Si Cannon
27th June: Guest speakers Graeme and Liam from Emmaus
25th July: TBC
26th September: TBC
31st October: TBC
28th November: TBC
12th December: XMAS Gathering
Join our friendly bunch of misfits for a pint and a chat. No agenda.
Book your place here so we know how many people to expect, and we'll see you on the night. It's £6 per dad, but there is a free option if you need it. No questions asked. Promise.
You can expect the following:
Free tea/coffee free beer, stand up comedians, special guest speakers, VR headsets and board games to play with decent tunes.
We have an incredible HQ based in partnership with the lovely folks at Propellernet in the heart of Brighton. Look at the pictures! It's stunning.
NOTE: The entrance doorway is next to The FITZ Regent pub
This event is made possible by Propellernet and the Early Birth Association.
Dad La Soul is a safe space for dads and kids to let off steam, have some banter and ask for help.
