‘Babyfather’ workshop comes to City
BARNARDO'S has once again teamed up with Patrick Augustus, author of the hugely successful ‘Babyfather‘ books and BBC TV show, to host an event focusing on the roles of fathering.
The workshops are structured on an African concept, ‘Each One, Teach One’. Putting this into practice has helped men find their role as fathers in an effective and dynamic format, whilst also giving them the ‘space’ to express their thoughts and fears as parents.
Patrick Augustus set up ‘The Babyfather Alliance’ (BFA) in 2002 to encourage responsible parenting amongst black males in the UK, and in particular among those who were separated from their children.
The Babyfather Alliance linked up with Barnardo’s as the charity is actively engaged in a range of parenting and other community-based activities and services working with Black communities around the UK.
Patrick Augustus says of his partnership with Barnardo’s:- “Being a father myself, I was aware of the issues surrounding parenting within the Black community. I set up the BFA to raise the awareness of absent fathers within the family unit by offering advice and support. Having seen the work of Barnardo’s, we could use our joint knowledge and experience to address one of the most serious issues within the Black community”.
Spokesperson for Barnardo’s, Errol John says of The Babyfather Alliance:- “Joining hands with the BFA is a major step in reaching the Black community and creating awareness about Barnardo’s. This has given us the opportunity to reach an audience who have shown great interest in working for their community. To many, the perception of Barnardo’s has been limited to the original idea of running orphanages, but the charity has moved a long way and now run over 300 Community based services to improve the lives of children and their families by working together.”
The Liverpool event takes place on November 24 at the Kummba Imani Millennium Centre, Princess Road, Toxteth, admission is free.
