Our fully-trained volunteers offer peer-support and non-judgemental discussion across a range of events and services.

This informal support is ultimately guided by parents - you! 

Parents can choose from our range of support services to best support their needs - one size does not fit all!

Find out more below or chat to our team using the contact information at the bottom of our page to discuss how we could support your support needs.

What is Peer-Support?  

  

DCPP Online Support

  

DCPP has two online platforms – ‘Bump to Baby Buddies’ and ‘Dad’s Space’

Both spaces provide new and expectant parents with an opportunity to access daily volunteer peer support, parent-parent contact and regular Guest Host sessions from relevant services and professionals, a Labour Ward Midwife for example. No photo or video required!

Bump to Baby Buddies is a referral only space. Please ask a Health or Social Care professional involved in your care to send the following information to [email protected]

  • Parent’s Name
  • Baby’s EDD or DOB
  • Parent’s Telephone Number and/or Email address

And we will do the rest!

If you would like to be a member on DCPP Dad’s Space simply follow this link: Dad's Space Facebook Page and request to join our Facebook group.

We look forward to welcoming you!
