Home Visiting Volunteer

Every week, our home-visiting volunteers visit families in their homes for 2-3 hours each week to offer them emotional and practical support. We are looking for volunteers with a genuine desire to make a difference to a family’s life by offering them this time.

You don’t need any previous volunteering experience, but experience with children (as a parent/carer, or similar) would be great.

Other than that, you simply need good listening skills and a “can-do” approach.

We do ask that you are able to commit 2-3 hours per week between the hours of 09:00 – 17:00, Monday to Friday for ideally at least one year too.

This works best for our families but must also work for you too!
