An innovative new network for men has recently been set up in Southport.

Identity Dads brings together dads, grandads and male carers through a combination of local meetings, social media and blogs.

Their first playgroup was a resounding success, bringing dads together to share parenting tips and make new friends, during this Sefton’s Year of Friendship.

The next playgroup, based at St Peter’s Centre, Birkdale, is due to take place on Saturday 13 April between 9.30am and 11.30am.
