Hello, I would like to introduce you to the Mydesign project which gives young people the opportunity to be creative by making their own T-shirts, Badges, key rings, bags, fridge magnets, bottle openers and medals every weekday at 4.30-6.30 in the summer holiday and term times. Within the summer the project has worked with around 85 children from the age of 7-13 and we are working with five different schools across the Croydon borough. Another benefit of the My Design project is that we can also provide services for other companies through means of T-shirt printing, badge making and a lot more for staff uniforms, promotional purposes and etc. If you are interested in any services we provide please contact us via email: leon@mydesignproject.org or mobile: 07940362877. www.mydesignproject.org

Meet with other like-minded young dads in similar situations as you living and working in London. This is an opportunity to take a break from the hectic rush of life and share your experiences, both positive and negative. Benefit by gaining valuable information from real people about a variety of topics that affect and concern fathers today. At J.A.M you are not judged or looked down upon, this is a chance for you to get your views heard.

Sessions will cover topics that YOU want to be discussed.
