North East Young Dads and Lads Project

NEYDL started life in 2015 with a simple brief: to find out what, if anything, could be done to support young fathers and dads-to-be living in the North East. At the time, there was no blueprint for this work, so as experienced youth workers we went out and met young dads on their terms and figured things out together.
