The Big Sleepout 2023

The Albany Community Foundation hosted an enjoyable and successful event again this year with a number of DIGS Dads sleeping out overnight in the pavilion at Centennial Park on Saturday night.  Particular highlights were the entertainment provided by GSG Music students and me learning how to make a pom-pom.  Thanks to all those who participated and also to the many who donated.  If you haven't yet made a donation the portal is still open!  Just go to https://albanys-big-sleep-out-2023.raisely.com/digsatgsg

The DIGS at GSG group has grown from an initiative of The Fathering Project - an organisation whose aim is to promote positive fathering and improve the engagement of fathers with their kids.  There's lots of really useful information on their website and you can also sign up for a weekly newsletter with tips and tricks delivered straight to your inbox.  Just click on "Get the Newsletter" at the top of the page https://thefatheringproject.org/
