The Next 6 Months
This is our plan for what happens the moment funding lands — month by month, dad by dad. No dad stands alone.
Alongside everything shown above, we're also building out group hiking trips through open countryside — real conversation, fresh air, no pressure to talk if you don't want to.

Getting Our Name Out There
Our plan for visibility and reach over the next 6 months — building on a following that already exists.
Press & Local Media
Pitching our story to local and regional press across our delivery areas, building on genuine coverage of our launch and events.
Podcast Appearances
Seeking guest spots on parenting, men's mental health and fatherhood podcasts to share our story and reach fathers who need us.
Creator & Community Partnerships
Working with content creators and voices in our founder's existing network across football, boxing and fitness to widen our reach organically.
Dads Love Clothing Network
Growing our existing 16,500+ community following through the Dads Love Clothing brand, turning followers into programme sign-ups and referrals.
Video & Social Content
Behind-the-scenes footage from real sessions once delivery is underway — replacing concept imagery with genuine documentation of our impact.
Funder & Partner Updates
Regular, honest reporting back to funders and partners on what's working, what we're learning, and where every pound has gone.
These are our goals and current activity, not confirmed media placements. Any named partner, publication or platform will only be announced once it's actually secured.
Help Us Make This Real
This entire plan is ready to go — it just needs funding behind it.
