The Forge

At The Forge, we believe in the power of community to foster resilience and positive change. We provide dedicated support services for adults, with a strong focus on men’s mental health, ensuring that individuals have access to resources, guidance, and peer-led support networks.

The Forge is proud to be the home of Dadzclub, a vital support network for fathers. We offer:

• Peer support groups where dads can share experiences and advice.
• 1-1 appointments for personal guidance and support.
• Specialist services for dads in the armed forces, providing tailored support for military fathers navigating the challenges of parenting alongside service life.
• Walk & Talk groups, offering a relaxed and informal way for dads to connect while enjoying the outdoors.
• Saturday Stay & Play sessions, a fun and inclusive space where dads can bond with their children through play and activities.

We offer a variety of training courses designed for individuals and professionals looking to expand their knowledge and skills. Whether you’re interested in mental health awareness, parenting support, or professional development, our courses are tailored to empower and educate.

The Forge is more than just a support hub—it’s a place where people come together. We host networking opportunities, community discussions, and events aimed at fostering collaboration and meaningful connections.

The Forge is also home to Embrace, a project dedicated to supporting individuals who have experienced challenging childhoods. Through peer support and guided sessions, Embrace provides a space for healing, empowerment, and positive change.
