About being a family group volunteer

We run a range of different weekly (term time) Groups where parent / carers can bring their children along for play and interaction with other children, and meet other adults in a relaxed and friendly environment.

Group volunteers work with the Group Worker to run these sessions. The role involves building the confidence and independence of families by:

  • Offering families support, friendship and practical help at the Group.
  • Developing relationships with families to provide regular, reliable support
  • Encourage parents’ strengths and emotional well-being for the ultimate benefit of their own children
  • Helping families widen their networks within the local in the community
