A father-of-three has set up a group for fellow dads to take part in activity sessions with their children. 

Lee Emmanuel, 26, has launched the Single Dads Society which will meet every month in Cricklewood.

Mr Emmanuel, who is studying health and social care at the College of North West London, said: “There’s nothing for men to do in the area with their children. When you go to soft play there are always a lot of women there and no men and it can be off-putting.

“The society will be a chance for dads to network with one another, make new friends as well as engage with their kids, have fun and learn new skills.”

The society will meet once a month where there will be arts and crafts, face painting, ball and board games as well as workshops to teach father and son new skills.

The next meeting will be held at Cricklewood Baptist Church in Sneyd Road on Saturday, March 23 from 3.30 to 6.30pm.
