Peter said: “The truth is, it’s an awful situation that none of us can fully comprehend. I feel that if you are in a position to be able to help, even the smallest bit, you do. If you can, you give – it should be as simple as that.

“We have a great group of dads here, many of whom want to help and to be part of something positive.”
