Welcome to Family Fun Darlo Mum

I'm Charlotte, the founder and business owner of Family Fun Darlo Mum. I live in Darlington, County Durham with my very supportive husband, Stef and my two boys Leo and Kamron. I started sharing Family Venues and Events in Summer 2022 via social media on a group I created whilst on maternity leave. It was more initially as a hobby and to help other parents and carers, as well as supporting locatl businesses. I found that when looking for ideas myself that I would spend ages searching as there was no central place to look as such for local areas specifically like Darlington and Teesside. Only for North East in general, so a lot of the smaller local businesses were often not seen.

My group grew in members extremely quickly with lot of positive feedback from the very beginning and it was clearly well needed! This led to lots of appreciation from local businesses and clients and more businesses contracting me wanting to work with me to help spread the word. I have had amazing feedback from both clients and followers. With all the positivity and success, I decided to create a business page on Facebook and write more of my own articles and reviews, as well as whats on guides. 

I made a huge and scary decision in 2024 and left my full time career in the travel advisor and customer service career, something I have done my entire adult life!  Family Fun Darlo Mum has now been my full time business from late 2024 and I haven't looked back! It has given me the freedom to work my own hours, and take breaks when I need them, whilst also managing my caring and parental responsibilities and look af.ter myself too!  I am excited for the future, inspiring families and helping supporting other businesses whilst growing my own. Thanks so much for all your supportive whether its leaving a positive comment or reaction, giving me tips and feedback or working with me as a client. It is all hugely appreciated.
