December 2025
Please take a look at our December Library newsletter. This month we are encouraging all fathers to ‘Submit a letter to our sons’ writing about what matters most about fatherhood and lessons you want to pass down. This is supported by Stephen Graham and Orly Klein – who worked on the TV series Adolescence and hope to increase the communication between fathers and sons.
As always we hope you enjoy reading our newsletter and aim to keep you up to date with current news and awareness.
