We provide a support service for dad's/male carers who have a child with special educational needs. Whilst we are primarily based in West Northamptonshire, we are looking to expand further to where there is a need.
Starting on Tuesday, come along to see some fantastic artwork from SENDS families. Entry is free. Only on for 2 weeks so please do come along and support.
We asked Ian what advice he'd give himself as he found out his son was #autistic - get in touch if you need help or would like to find out more about the support we provide.

Thanks so much to everyone who came to #DadStock 2023 - especially all the dads, and male carers of young people with #SENDS and the four #Northampton bands who gave their time and talents so generously.

Here's a great picture of one of our dads Piotr on the BBC News website (link in our stories.)

Another fantastic SEND family fun day held by @sport4fitnesscic - and we were even treated to a performance by the legendary @borntoperform.danceandcare
It was so nice to speak to lots of people about our work. Great day even if the wind almost blew away our gazebo 💨

🎥 📺 Great afternoon filming with Mousumi Bakshi from BBC Look East and SENDS 4 Dad for a news feature due to be aired early next week. We were highlighting the issues facing dads, and male carers, of young people with SENDS.
Thanks to all the dads ans young people who came and were willing to share their story.
A huge thank you to Rhian at @be_better_known for sorting this out.

Great coverage in this week's printed edition of the Chronicle and Echo, highlighting our campaign and #DadStock event.
We would be so grateful if you can help spread the word about the #DadStock gig on July 15th at the Charles Bradlaugh which is an awareness raising event to try and reach more dads, and male carers, of young people with SENDS who might need support.
Happy Fathers Day to all you amazing dads and male carers. If you haven't heard today, you do an amazing job!
Stay tuned to @bbcnorthampton today at around 10:15am for an interview with Paul Meadows about our curent campaign and #DadStock at The Charles Bradlaughon 15th July from 7:30pm with @thebarratts_ , The Good Fridays, The Helix and The Daze Band.
In case you missed it, the campaign aims are:
1. To increase the visibility of dads and male carers of children with SENDS as they are often forgotten.
2. To reduce the stigma of asking for help and increase awareness of the SENDS 4 Dad support group and how it can help.
3. To highlight the current mental health crisis within this group of dads and to appeal for more mental health support and funding.

Last week was busy a one! I met Frank Bruno at one of our partner charities, @frankbrunofoundation, who presented SENDS 4 Dad with a certificate for helping them raise vital funds through their Snowden Challenge.
Just in case you missed it, in May, a group of us travelled to North Wales for a rather soggy trek up Snowdon. Thanks again to everyone who took part and sponsored us.
