RESEARCH & DOCUMENTATION

NEYDL has been involved with a verity of academics and research projects.

From our pioneering group and peer work, to social studies into diversity and even geographical exploration around bee-keeping. We have worked with such universities and groups as the Following Young Fathers First Group (https://followingyoungfathersfurther.org ), Newcastle University, Lankelly Chase, Northumbria University, SAGE publishing, University of Lincoln and De Montford University. Through this research we look to provide better ways of understanding and working towards providing effective support for young dads.

Examples of our research projects can be found here;

“I really appreciate all your help!… I see you as a friend more than a professional. Not saying you’re not professional, I mean in the sense you’re the type of dad I want to be”

“If I didn’t get the support from NEYDL, I wouldn’t be here today”
