BLACK FATHERS GROUP LIMITED

What BLACK FATHERS GROUP LIMITED does

Black Fathers Group Limited is a UK not-for-profit community support organisation, registered in Sidcup and operating documented impact in Birmingham, that delivers free peer-led services to Black fathers aged 18 and above, including young people referred via Local Authorities and care leavers. Its portfolio is organised around four pillars — Community, Wellbeing, Fatherhood, and Support — and comprises discrete programmes such as the New Fathers Support Circle, a Mental Health & Wellbeing Programme, an Effective Communication Workshop, a Single Fathers Network, and a Peer Mentor Programme, all delivered through in-person community-centre sessions and online workshops, with registration gated through an involvement interest form.

The core operating model is community-led and event-driven, relying on lived-experience peer mentors rather than on any proprietary technology platform; the organisation's web presence is built on Wix, and outreach is conducted through organic social channels (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok), a blog spotlighting father stories, an email newsletter, and word-of-mouth referrals. Reported cumulative reach is 500+ fathers supported, 200+ active support circles meeting regularly, 150+ documented personal journeys, and a self-reported 85% improvement in wellbeing among participants.

Black Fathers Group generates no participant fees; its funding stack consists of grants from governmental and non-governmental sources, partnership contributions channelled via a Partner With Us programme, and donations. There are no disclosed funding rounds, no reported revenue figures, no headcount, and no management bios in the available data. The reported partnership base is institutional — specifically Local Authorities acting as a referral channel — rather than commercial, with no paying customer logos or enterprise contract value disclosed.
