Available for over a year

Following comments from a former Lib Dem advisor that men must contribute more to family life, a Derby-based group for absent fathers explains how it helps to mend the family. The deputy prime minister's former advisor Richard Reeves says men have 'greatly increased' their contribution to childrearing and housework, but called for breadwinning and childrearing to be equally shared. In this clip from Âé¶¹Éç Derby's African Caribbean Experience, Byron Morgan from the Derby-based Men of Black Ancestry group tells Devon Daley how they're helping black boys and families with absent fathers.
