About

Durham County Council awarded a contract to North East Young Dads and Lads for specialist peer support to approximately 40 young fathers and non-birthing people aged 16 to 25 per year in County Durham during the perinatal period, with a mental wellbeing focus as part of the Family Hubs Programme.

The service aimed to enhance parenting practice and relationships, build self-worth, confidence, self-esteem, self-reliance, and resilience, reduce social isolation, develop peer support networks, acquire knowledge and skills for employability, empower participants to voice their needs and be involved in decisions affecting their future and their children, identify and overcome barriers, campaign for improved service provision, challenge negative perceptions of young men and boys, access wider help from other services, reconnect with education, and lead the charity's work and vision.

The contract value was £283,500.
