Songs of Praise: Season 2022, Episode 25

2022 - 25: Father's Day and Faith

Aled Jones celebrates Father's Day in Watford and hears about MFF or Music, Football, Fatherhood, an organisation helping fathers and fathers-to-be navigate some of the challenges and anxieties around becoming a dad.

Aled meets its founder, Elliot Rae, to hear how a traumatic experience during the birth of his daughter encouraged him to set up MFF. Aled and Elliot attend an event where fathers are encouraged to open up about their experiences and learn new skills.

Meanwhile, a single father talks about about how his faith influences and helps with his role as a parent to six adopted children with additional and complex needs. And JB Gill visits a Nottingham-based community project using sports training to empower young people to keep away from gangs and antisocial behaviour.
