Our work, on the record.

Centre for Fathering has helped Singapore's fathers since Father's Day 2000. This is who runs it, how it is governed, and the reports we publish each year.

Fathers and children, turned towards each other.

That is our vision. Our mission is to inspire fathers to strengthen families. We run DADs for Life and MUMs for Life, and take fathering workshops into schools, organisations, communities and prisons.
