A platform for men to connect, grow and find their place through content, community and real-world experiences.
What we stand for
Real conversations that go deeper than the surface. We ask the questions most people avoid.
You can’t change what you don’t understand. Your patterns. Your reactions. Your story. Awareness is where everything starts.
Not advice. Not therapy. A sense that others have been here — and found their way through.
The reality
Suicides in the UK are men, at any one time.
Men experience a common mental health problem at any one time.
of men say they have never spoken to anyone about their mental health.
"What does it feel like to grow up disabled, be told no one would marry you, and carry 17 years of silent pain — all while building one of the most respected charities in the Midlands?"
Dr Amo Raju OBE sits down with Naroop Jhooti for one of the most raw, unfiltered conversations The Dad Project has ever hosted. Amo shares the stories he's never told publicly — the aunties who wrote him off at age 8, the 4-hour cry that changed his life at 17, eloping against caste and family, and 30 years of silent depression as a CEO at the top of his game.
A conversation about disability, identity, love, fatherhood, mental health — and what it means to be a man who refuses to stay in the box others build for him.
Built on lived experience and a belief that men deserve to be heard, The Dad Project exists because vulnerability isn't weakness — it's the most human thing we have.
Naroop started this to challenge stereotypes about fathers of colour and amplify voices rarely heard in mainstream media. It began as a mission. It became a movement.
"The work continues, one honest conversation at a time."
The people behind the project
