How HomeDad started
HomeDad UK is the only UK support group dedicated to helping dads who are staying at home to bring up their children. We have over 500 members who are either at home full-time, work part-time or are raising kids on their own.
Our website, HomeDad.org.uk, was launched in September 2000 by two stay-at-home dads, Nick Cavender from Watford and Simon Windisch from Reading who realised that there was a lack of support and information for dads at home with their children.

About food co-ops
The main principle behind all community run food co-ops is that by pooling their buying power and ordering food in bulk direct from suppliers, a group of people can buy good food at a more affordable price.
Small food co-ops or buying groups work by collecting together everyone’s orders in advance, whereas other models operate more like other food businesses in that they order the produce from suppliers and then sell it to their customers via stalls, bag or box schemes, mobile stores, shops or other types of outlet.
