and become more involved in their children’s lives. The project is
located in Derry and is available on an outreach basis to young fathers
in Derry, Strabane and Limavady, offering advocacy and support services
to young fathers and their families as well as information and practical
support on issues such as housing, parenting, independent living, welfare
benefits, training and sexual health.
The Young Fathers
Project is a partnership between First Housing, the Western Health &
Social Care Trust, Investing for Health and the Big Lottery.
In 2008 we
delivered a Fatherhood Programme incorporating a series of training and
information workshops on parenting, conflict resolution, lifeskills,
health and safety, personal development, self-esteem, sexual health and
legal issues relating to the care of children.
2008 saw
the ‘Da Project’ receive 2nd place in the best
Charity/Voluntary Project category of the National Lottery Awards.
