Home Start Volunteer - Family Support

• Home-Start East Highland

• VO104234

Being a parent is hard for everyone; for some it can be overwhelming. Some of us have fantastic support networks of family and friends to help, some of us don't. Your knowledge and experience as a mum, dad, grandparent or carer could help you provide the vital support a family needs and make a positive difference to their lives.

Whatever your background if you have a few hours to spare, can listen and empathise and have the ability to offer emotional and occasional practical support this can make a big difference to a parent or carer and their children in your local area.

If you could give as little as two hours a week to support a family and would like to find out more please get in touch at volunteer@home-starteasthighland.org.uk
