Why Volunteer
Why Volunteer?
Supporting families and young children
Supporting families and young children
Volunteers play an integral role in helping families build the confidence and abilities to create change in their lives and in their communities.
Becoming a parent can change your life entirely. But for many, that change is hard. Volunteers play a crucial role in helping parents to connect with others in their communities across the shared journey of parenthood in Southwark, Leeds and North Tyneside.
We are looking for volunteers who can support parents and young children attending our weekly groups. If you are fun, reliable and enjoy working with children, we would love to hear from you. We are not looking for experts - but enthusiastic volunteers who are willing to invest time to build relationships that drive change in our communities.

Parents are at the heart of everything we do. We listen to and value the perspective of parents while also making space for children and families to play, have fun, and meet friends old and new.
