Two weeks isn't enough!

The UK has the lowest paternity leave in Europe.

This needs to change, we're joining @dadshiftuk.bsky.social and others from across the UK in asking for more time for Dads.

It's good for families and our country.

Another day, another phone call from a parent who can't understand why they are being stopped from seeing their child, and have to pay thousands to go through the court to get access.

What a waste for all.

In the middle, a child who hasn't had contact for months.

We need change.

Amazing to see the UKs first ever Mens health strategy on its way in England. Great news, and hopefully one day we'll see similar in Scotland.

75% of all suicides in the UK are by men. It's time to act, for all our sakes.
