This Isn’t Just Another Page — It’s a Brotherhood Built on Real Conversations
BODS (Brotherhood of Dads) is a growing community of fathers across the UK who are done pretending everything’s fine.
We talk about the stuff that actually matters — mental health, pressure, relationships, fatherhood, and everything in between.
No filters. No judgement. Just real conversations with lads who get it.
Real Stories From Real Dads
We travel across the country sitting down with dads and having honest conversations about life, struggles, and what fatherhood really looks like.
These aren’t interviews. They’re real moments.
You Don’t Have To Do This Alone
Whether you’re struggling, need to talk, or just want to be around other dads who understand — this is your space.
Our Discord community is open, supportive, and built on real connection. No pressure, no expectations — just lads having each other’s backs.

Why This Matters
Too many dads go through things in silence. After a baby arrives, everyone asks how mum and the baby are doing — but hardly anyone asks the dad.
BODS exists to change that.
Sometimes all it takes is one conversation to make a difference.
What Dads Are Saying
“I wanted to help set up and run BODS because
I BELIEVE IT IS AN IMPORTANT VENTURE.
Dad’s are extremely underrepresented in terms of fatherhood and it’s only in recent years when stuff like “Andy’s mans club” have become a thing.
There is so much out there for mums and rightly so,
but DAD’S HAVE VERY LITTLE.
Just because our roles are different on the journey,
MUMS AND DADS ARE BOTH ON THAT SAME ADVENTURE.
I recently spoke to my Dad about this group and
HE TEARED UP, he loved what we were doing here and told me how proud he was of it and wished he had something like this when he had me and my brother.
If what we have made here can help
ONE DAD ON THAT JOURNEY,
THEN IT’S DOING ITS JOB.
Whether it helps one dad or every member of our growing community, it’s making a difference.
WE ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE.”

“I joined BODS because I didn’t realise how much I needed something like it until I found it.
Being a dad can be brilliant, but it can also feel heavy at times, and it’s not always easy to find people who truly understand. BODS gave me a space where I could be myself, have a laugh, and talk honestly when I needed to.
It’s more than just a group—it’s a community. There’s always someone there, whether you’re having a good day or a difficult one.
I joined for support, but I stayed because of the people.”

BODS MOUNTAIN CHALLENGE 2026
We did it. Together.
In May 2026, John and his daughter took on Y Garn via Devil’s Kitchen for BODS. They climbed for George, they climbed for the Stroke Association, and they showed exactly what BODS is about: bringing people together around something that matters.
Watch what they accomplished:
A massive thank you to everyone who supported John and his daughter on this challenge. Your donations, your encouragement, your belief in what BODS is about, it made this possible. We raised funds for a cause that matters, and we proved that when our community comes together, we can do hard things.
To everyone thinking about joining BODS: this is what we’re about. Real people, real support, doing real things together.
How You Can Support
If you’ve found BODS, been impacted by it, or simply believe in what we’re building — you can help.
Every donation, no matter the size, helps us:
1. Support vital charities
2. Grow the BODS community
3. Reach more dads who might be struggling in silence
Why It Matters
Too many dads feel like they have to “just get on with it.”
BODS exists to change that.
This challenge is more than a hike — it’s a statement:
No dad walks alone.
More Than Just Online
From coffee meetups to challenges and events, BODS is about showing up in real life too.
We’re building something that goes beyond screens — real connections, real support.
Help Us Reach More Dads
BODS is growing daily with a simple goal: reach more dads who need support. It’s becoming a movement built on honest conversation, connection, and understanding—helping dads who feel isolated or struggle in silence find a judgment-free space so they don’t have to face it alone.
