Dads from Didcot spent quality time with their children at a father's family day.

The Christmas Fun Day, held at Stephen Freeman Primary School and Children's Centre in Freeman Road, aimed to bring together fathers and their children to promote the father-figure role.

The main attraction was a fire engine and all youngsters received presents from Father Christmas.

Carlton Gabbidon, co-ordinator of the UK Dad's Potential Project, who organised the event, said: "It went really well. We had lots of families with a good turnout of dads. I think with life pressures, fathers do not often have time to spend with their children."

Manager of the Children's Centre, Mandy Whitaker, said: "The UK Dad's Potential Project will be working with us for six months and we will be using their expertise."

The Children Centre hold a Dad's Morning on the fourth Saturday of each month between 10am and noon.
