Male life expectancy in Scotland is worse than anywhere else in the UK, with 2 in 5 men dying before the age of 75. @movemberuk.bsky.social's new report shows the scale of the challenge. A dedicated Men's Health Action Plan is needed. Read it here: movember.com/news/time-fo... #MensHealthActionPlan

These quotes from our 2026 survey are why we do what we do. From helping dads see they aren't alone to providing vital parenting advice and cost-of-living support, our staff show up every day to ensure every family feels valued and supported. #TeamDadsRock #MentalHealth #SocialImpact

Dads Rock has given me a sense of community with fellow dads locally, a consistently supportive and caring space, new friends, and a sense of validation and pride in being one of a community of dads

I've really enjoyed the Play Groups, the social and emotional support they offer, plus the opportunity to spend time playing with my son in a relaxed environment. I also make use of the Whatsapp community a lot. It's a very good source of support and advice

Friendly bunch that are great for advice and a chat. They really help give perspectives in situations and have had a wide range of experiences and anecdotes they can share to help us

Just meeting and spending time with other Dads, especially those with children of a similar age, is really good for my general mental health. We can share problems, discuss everyday frustrations, support each other
