Volunteer E-Commerce Expert – Drive Sales and Fund Life-Saving Initiatives
Dad La Soul
About Dad La Soul:
Fatherhood in the UK is in crisis. With 4.5 million dads and male carers facing isolation, stress, and a lack of support, 84 men under 45 die by suicide every week—many of them fathers. Dad La Soul is here to change that. We’re a pioneering social enterprise on a mission to connect dads, break down barriers, and build a community that supports mental health and combats loneliness.
