Fathers with Futures by
Anglicare
At the beginning of October, Anglicare Roma’s
Daniel Wales established a group for fathers
in Roma called Fathers with Futures. This
group has been running along school terms,
and will recommence on Sunday the first of
February, from 9:30am – 10:30am.
To celebrate the return of the Dads group
Anglicare are planning an open day for all
local families to attend, including the mums of
course! They are hoping to have a BBQ
brunch, a jumping castle, the miniature train,
and more.
The purpose of this group is to establish and
maintain stronger social supports, as well as
provide Dad’s the opportunity to ask
questions, get advice, and to vent in a safe
place. It also allows the wife or partner the
opportunity to have an hour of peace and
quiet each week, which for some Mums is
almost impossible otherwise.

Support Worker Daniel Wales on M: 0447 874
