Dads Rock launch ‘Being Dad’ photo campaign

We want to help celebrate all the great Dads/granddads and male carers out there, we want to share with others the joy and struggles of being a Dad, and let others see a wee bit about our lives.

It’s important that our kids understand how much us Dads love them, and we still need to break down some barriers and help people see what it means to be a Dad today.

So we’ve launched the ‘Being Dad’ photo campaign!
THIS IS WHERE WE NEED YOUR HELP …WHAT WE NEED IS…
1. A photo of you (dad/granddad/male carer) with your kids
2. 160 words or less about the joy/struggle of being Dad
So get creative and get involved! – We’re going to be taking some of the photos to the Scottish Parliament in June to display – and we’ll invite families to come see their photos there.
You can share your photo and words on Instagram, facebook or twitter, or of course you can email them to us.
Use #beingdadrocks and remember to tag us.
You can see some of the first entries here:
