About Dads Kids Club CIC

Dads Kids Club is a dad-led Community Interest Company that invites men to get more involved in their kids' education - improving children's educational engagement, men's mental health and life opportunities for both. What we do? We connect, engage and support dads, stepdads, granddads, uncles and male carers to co-run screen-free, hands-on activity clubs at their children's primary schools. Sessions run one Saturday a month, co-designed with school leaders and delivered by volunteer male carers and school staff - focusing on KS1 to KS2 (aged 4 - 11), where male involvement is lowest and the impact on children's development is greatest. Why we exist? We are tackling children’s education disengagement and men's mental health crisis with an innovative intervention - inviting dads and male carers to get more involved in their kids' education to co-create more life opportunities. For the kids. Today in the UK at 3.30pm - 8,968 pupils will disengage from school and they rarely recover from the exit. Over 1.4 million children were persistently absent from UK schools in 2025. For the men. Today in the UK, men, especially dads and male carers have less social connection, as traditional male social infrastructure or networks collapse or close. As group activities such as workplaces evolve, clubs, or sports teams decline so does male social connection increasing isolated and loneliness. Sadly the outcome is 14 men die by suicide every day (Centre for Policy Research on Men and Boys 2025). The ambition We want to give the 20,712 state-funded primary schools in the UK the opportunity of a Dads Kids Club.
