What is DadTalk?

DadTalk.co.uk aspires to be more than just another website:  

• DadTalk is a community of men championing fatherhood and exploring what it is to be a dad in 21st Century Britain
• DadTalk gets dads talking on and offline. Whether it’s sharing or accessing information, or getting answers to the questions that face us all – chances are, a dad out there has the answers already!
• DadTalk uses the technology our children are so at home with.  DadTalk is by dads for dads and is about connecting to their children’s ‘wrap around technology’ world
• DadTalk is a voice for dads, influencing and challenging society and aspiring to pass on a better future to our kids
• DadTalk aims to increase fun and confidence for all men with a fathering role
