Social and Emotional Support
Its a well known fact that the best conversations happen on the touchline. All of our session facilitators are trained to offer emotional support and connect you with local primary, secondary or other VCSO organisations to help get the support you need.
On the Subs Bench
At Busy Dads Club, playing sport is only one part of what we do — the real magic often happens On the Subs Bench. That’s where the best conversations unfold, where dads connect, share what’s really going on, and offer each other the kind of emotional support that’s just as important as physical activity. You don’t have to play to be part of it; simply come along, take a seat on the bench, and join the chat. It’s a space to talk about whatever you need support with, from financial worries and relationship pressures to health concerns or practical tips for navigating fatherhood. The Subs Bench is where dads show up for each other, no matter what they’re facing.
The Sunday Social
The Sunday Social is our weekly online meetup where dads from all our groups can come together, unwind, and strengthen the sense of community that holds us all up. Every Sunday, we create a relaxed space to connect, share what’s going on in our lives, and offer support to one another — whether that’s celebrating wins, talking through challenges, or simply enjoying good conversation with people who get it. You don’t need to bring anything except yourself; just log in, join the chat, and feel part of a wider network of dads who are building connection, confidence, and community attachment one conversation at a time.
