RAF Veteran Nigel Opens His Home to Vulnerable Youths After Loss

Nigel, an 88-year-old RAF veteran from Somerset, began fostering four years ago, motivated by a desire to remain active and engaged after his wife's passing. He aimed to fill his days with meaningful activities rather than solitude, while also providing support to young individuals in need. His connection with his foster son has led to memorable experiences, including shared interests in cars and attending cultural events like Glastonbury Festival. Nigel's dedication illustrates how older individuals can positively impact the lives of younger generations, demonstrating the importance of fostering regardless of age. Somerset Council recognizes his contributions, especially as the community approaches Remembrance Day.
