This year, we come with something different.
Last Father’s Day, over 5,000 of you witnessed Dear Father — a powerful story we wrote about fathers, their role in the home, and their impact in shaping safer families across the UK.
HERO is about fathers who have lost their voices — not by choice, but through mental illness. Fathers who, despite love and intention, are unable to show up in the ways the world expects of them.
At the centre of this story is schizophrenia — an illness often misunderstood, sometimes mocked, sometimes feared, and rarely truly listened to with appropriate care.
Touring across London, Dublin and the UK over the next 10 months, this is one you should bring your father to.
