In this episode of Voices of Fostering, Helen sits down with Dan — a single male foster carer who was only approved in January of this year.
Dan shares his honest and inspiring journey from a long-term career at a supermarket head office, through redundancy, a moment of clarity on a beach in Weston-super-Mare, and ultimately the decision to become a foster carer with National Fostering Group.
He opens up about:
💡 Why he decided to foster as a single man in his late 30s
📋 Navigating the thorough Form F assessment process
🧒 His first young person — a teenage boy with autism who lost his nan in January
🤝 The importance of building a strong support network
🔮 What the future might look like for him as a carer
Dan's story is proof that there's no single template for a foster carer. Whether you're single or in a couple, male or female, young or older — if you can provide a loving, stable home, fostering could be for you.
