A NEW event to bring fathers closer to their children is to start at the Barton Neighbourhood Centre.
On Saturday the Disco Dadz scheme begins. It aims to engage with single-parent fathers who want to bond with their children.
The initiative has grown out of the Baby Boogie programme, which was part of Dancin’ Oxford at Pegasus Theatre over the last three years.
The Leys Children’s Centre in Blackbird Leys is already hosting the programme.
The monthly sessions, led by an all-male staff team, are tailored to each centre and include a live DJ and dance tutor, alongside arts and crafts activities, refreshments and social time.
Claire Thompson, founder of Dancin’ Oxford said: “For many young children estranged from their dads this is an opportunity to spend quality time together on a regular basis.”
The sessions run from 10am to noon and cost £1 per family.
