DadTalk was founded on Father’s Day 2008 by the Family Matters institute (with funding from the Department for Education) with the remit to support all fathers no matter their situation.
In 2011 we acquired dad.info and merged the two sites into the largest, most popular dad site in the UK. The new merged site brought together all the great stuff from both sites. So in December 2011 the new improved DAD.info was launched.
DAD.info has over 300 articles, podcasts and videos; daily dad blogs, news and tips; competitions; a forum with a community of over 8,500 members; expert advisors including The Coram Children’s Legal Centre, Step Change, Child Maintenance Options, Family Rights Group, Alcohol Services, NHS Bedfordshire enabling us to offer dads support with birth, child law, finance and debt, relationships and maintenance advice. We also have a team of four coaches who are able to offer separation/relationship and life coaching services. In 2012 we added special services for Children’s Centres in the UK offering practical support and services to help engage with fathers. In early 2013 we launched the mobile version of our site.
