Episode 8: SUPPORT with Leeds Dads founder Errol Murray

In this week's episode, Carol speaks to Errol Murray about the Raise word SUPPORT. Leeds Dads started by founder Errol Murray who was a struggling new Dad. His daughter’s Mum had made lots of friends with other parents and he noticed that whilst there was a lot of support available for Mums in Leeds, he was left feeling isolated and excluded from activities as a Dad. He sent an email to some friends who had recently had babies and 3 other Dads agreed to meet in Leeds City Museum with their kids for a coffee and a playdate. Fast forward 12 years and Leeds Dads is a beloved charity that supports over 1,000 dads per year with their mental wellbeing. Just looking at what we achieved in 2023 makes us feel proud (and tired!)

Each episode, we will have a different guess who will be discussing our Raise Word.
