Video Editor

Support a startup supporting men to be equal and active parents

Fathercraft  want to change the perceptions of male caring and fatherhood and support more partners to get involved because it creates value for everyone. Supporting men to be equal and active parents from the start is key for gender equality. Research from Sweden suggests that every additional month of paternity leave taken by fathers increases the mother’s lifetime earnings by 6.7% (Johansson, 2010).

Yet despite increasing willingness and interest in taking an active parenting role, in 2022, dads spent, on average, just 55 minutes per day with their children (ONS, 2023). This is largely due to the fact that one in three working dads don’t feel comfortable talking to their employer about family commitments and/or are not adequately supported to be the best dads and partners they can be.

Fathercraft have developed an affordable, comprehensive online platform called "Father's Ed" that provides guidance, support, wellbeing services and a community for new or expectant fathers. This includes peer support between dads, science-based online, digital well-being courses covering a range of strange and anxiety triggers, e. g. financial well-being, loneliness, insomnia, etc.). We are also working on providing mental health services for new fathers through partnerships.

Role (Volunteer): Video Editor.

Role Description: Craft stories that change perceptions. One frame at a time.

• A strong creative instinct with attention to tone, rhythm, and emotional impact.
