Volunteers are local people with parenting experience. They are trained and supported before being matched to their family. Home-Start prides itself on providing ongoing support and supervision to volunteers on their Home-Start journey.
What it takes to be a Home-Start Volunteer
Home-Start volunteers come from all walks of life and experiences. All that’s asked of that they have a caring and non-judgemental attitude and can commit to visiting a family in their home for two-three hours per week.
Volunteers offer emotional & practical support to parents as well as friendship & build a trusting relationship with their family. Support is done in a non – judgemental manner as part of Home-Start’s ethos, which is crucial for parents reaching out for help.
