What's on for Dads in Greenwich?
Greenwich Council has a large network of Children's Centres that provide a variety of services available to children aged under five. You can participate in the mainstream activities on offer each week, and also register for any of the activities specifically structured for dads to have fun with their children.
The Centres also offer advice and support around employment and training – just ask! You can also see a range of services available for families in the borough by visiting our website: www.greenwich.gov.uk/csd
