- Advertising your group or event via social media and other platforms.
- Attracting and welcoming helpers for your activity.

Our Community Volunteers are:

- Motivated and reliable.
- Able to plan and organise a one-off event or regular group.
- Welcoming to all parents and a good listener.
Time Commitment:
This is a flexible role that can fit around your other commitments and availability. The time you'll spend volunteering will vary depending on the type and frequency of the activity you choose to run, with as little as 2 hours per month being an option. We're ideally looking for Community Volunteers who can commit for at least 3 months.
What you can expect from us:
- A great volunteer experience where you can meet new people and develop skills.
- Excellent support from experienced volunteers and our Volunteering Team.
- Access to an online platform with all the tools, resources, and training you'll need.
