21 November 2020 - Prince William Duke of Cambridge and Kate Duchess of Cambridge Catherine Katherine Middleton speak to Future Men on the importance of support for fathers. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have heard about the importance of supporting fathers from Future Men, a London-based charity that provides vital guidance to men and boys of all ages. On Tuesday 17th November, Their Royal Highnesses spoke to four men who have all benefited from Future Men's Fathers Programmes, which help fathers develop their confidence as parents ahead of a new arrival, and at every stage as their children progress through life. The Duke and Duchess were also joined by Owen Thomas, the charity's Head of Programmes for Fathers, who highlighted the importance of providing a safe space for men to share their natural worries and concerns, ask questions, and grow into their roles as parents. Two of the men on the call, Peter and Graeme, who became fathers for the first time this year, spoke about how they are juggling their responsibilities as new parents while in lockdown, and introduced their young sons to The Duke and Duchess. Their Royal Highnesses also heard how, through the Fathers Programmes, men are encouraged to reflect on their own upbringings in order to shape the way in which they approach parenthood themselves. Future Men supports around 500 fathers, and their partners, each year. During lockdown they have kept in touch via virtual one to one drop-in sessions, sharing tips on how to deal with pressure, speak openly about their feelings, and continue to provide the best care for their children during challenging times. Last year, The Duke visited Future Men in London to learn more about their Future Dads programme for expectant and new fathers. Photo Credit: ALPR/AdMedia
