A DADS' group set up by a full-time father is holding a family picnic in East Finchley today.
Adam Porter, 31, of Leslie Road, runs the club which was founded by his friend. They realised there were not many options for fathers to meet up together with their young children.
The group provides information on playgroups for under-fives in the area and plans events to create a more comfortable environment for the men.
“Mums are a lot better organised than dads and I often find dads walking around with their kids not knowing where to go,” said Mr Porter, who has a two-year-old son.
“It can be intimidating for dads to go to playgroups where there are 99 per cent women.
“Our aim was to give men somewhere they could go to make them feel a lot more relaxed.”
Today's picnic is being held in Cherry Tree Wood, from 2pm. Anyone is welcome to go along, including mothers.
