Hey, 

My names Alex. I'm looking to start a new separated dads and kids group in South East London. Its early stages, as in, I started creating it yesterday. 

I’ve created this blog because of my own situation as a separated dad, and the desire to create a solution – a separated dads and kids group in London. My situation stands that I am father to my amazing daughter Swho is 11 months old at the time of writing. I am separated from S’s mother. I have no fixed home address and have been couch surfing since I split from my partner, six months ago.  I currently see my daughter once a week at the weekend, either Saturday or Sunday, unless I have a pre-arranged weekend away.  I’m not here to complain about this, or to bang on about my rights or what I don’t have. The situation is what it is.

In the last few months, we’ve had awesome weather which makes it much easier when choosing activities for me and my daughter to enjoy.  I’ve got my mind on the inevitability of the weather turning and how this will affect the choices I have. Whilst I do have friends that also have kids its a big ask to spend my whole day at theirs every week for the foreseeable future.  My family don’t live close to me either, and a lot of the dad and kids groups in London only meet for a short amount of time. So, it’s time for me to do something about this.

This is what I want to create:

I am open to suggestions on how this dad and kids group works. At this stage I am looking for guys who are in a similar situation to me so we can work together on putting it all together and making it happen.  My aim is to have it all in place by mid-September. Better get moving then.

I would love to hear from any guys out there. Don’t be shy, get in touch. Even if you’re unsure.  Let’s do it now!  Look forward to hearing from you.

Feel free to read my blog, share, comment, delete, or whatever you fee like doing. I’ve categorized my blog easily for you. I intent to write once a week, it could be more.

Ta,

Alex & S.
