One year on from the launch of a reading scheme for fathers, Home-Start Arun, Worthing and Adur has spoken of the difference it has made to families in the area.

Fathers Reading Every Day, known as FRED, has seen 21 dads engage with the programme in the past 12 months, with 92 per cent seeing the benefits in their family.

The initiative aims to support fathers and help them bond well with their children through reading together.
