Home-Start Isle of Wight needs volunteers in your area to support parents who may be struggling to cope.
Our volunteers commit to offering one morning or afternoon (usually weekly), to give practical and emotional support.
Offering individual support
By visiting regularly, our volunteers build up a relationship with parents and their children, and support by:
- Supporting them to get out and about
- Supporting them with activities with their children
- Providing friendship and a listening ear
Group support
We are also looking for volunteers to support our weekly Family Group sessions (term time only).
Our volunteers find the time they spend with families very rewarding as they make such a positive difference to the lives of the parents and children they support.
Full training provided
Volunteering is an excellent thing for your personal development as looks great on a CV.
Home-Start IOW offers full training so no experience necessary other than the parenting or caring experience you already have.
