I have Already seen brand new dad's join before their kids were born, and they have an instant group to lean on and learn from. I went nearly 2 years before having any kind of sense of community or belonging when it came to being a dad”

RAD DADS are Active Dads
An active dad is a father who actively engages with his children through physical, mental, and emotional activities. He participates in their interests, plays with them, and encourages them to lead a healthy and active lifestyle.
An active dad prioritises spending quality time with his children, whether it's playing sports together, going on family hikes, or simply having meaningful conversations.
RAD DADS serve as a role model for his children by demonstrating the importance of staying active, being present, and fostering strong family bonds.
