Kiwi Dads
Christchurch

Kia ora Whānau, I’d like to introduce myself and explain a bit about Kiwi Dads Christchurch.
My name is Don Benn and I’m a Community Development Worker with the Neighbourhood Trust, and we are based at St Albans Baptist Church.

Kiwi Dads Chch is a Facebook group designed to encourage Dads in their role as a parent. You can find us by searching for @KiwiDadsChch. It aims to provide inspiration, encouragement, information, promotion of events and activities, some fun and humour, as well as some personal reflections.

I’m a Dad to three amazing kids, now in their late teenage / young adult stages of life.  We (my wife and I) absolutely love being around them and helping them face the challenges of growing up. We talk a lot, laugh a lot, and share a lot together as we negotiate the challenges of teenage years.

As a Community Development Worker, I am available to meet with Dads to simply chat, support, and encourage them in their role as a Dad. I’ll even shout a coffee. I bring is a listening ear and a few years of experience as a parent to understand the challenges and offer any advice that may help
