Nomination quotes:
‘Errol’s work with dads is letting them know that they are not alone, that there’s a community of men that is like them, supporting each other and being there for each other.’
‘His work with the Perinatal Mental Health Team is life-enhancing and has helped many men climb out of a pit of depression, self-doubt and overwhelm. It is truly powerful and inspiring.’
‘I can’t tell you how much he has helped. I’m welling up already.’
‘Errol has supported me with the start of a dad’s peer-support group in Sheffield. He has given me his time, invited me over to Leeds to enjoy their groups, and checked in with me throughout the process.’
‘Errol is a role model for fathers and especially for Black fathers. He is positive about diversity and gender inclusion.’
‘He does so much to champion the wellbeing of dads who are often missed in the perinatal period by support organisations.’
‘Errol has spearheaded a movement that transcends conventional notions of fatherhood. Leeds Dads isn’t just a support group; it’s a lifeline for fathers navigating the complexities of modern parenting.’
There are so many families in our community that need a safe, supportive place for Dads, as a charity we rely on donations to keep our award-winning work. Can you help us make a difference?
