As a Home-Start volunteer you will support a family by visiting them at home for around two to three hours once a week.

 

No special qualifications are necessary to become a Home-Start volunteer, we welcome volunteers from all sections of the community.

You'll have an interest in, and experience of, young children and family life, this is an opportunity to empower families to overcome their difficult situations.
What You'll Learn: 
You will have to attend our free Volunteer Preparation Course with other new volunteers before meeting your first family. Ongoing training and support provided.
