Home-Start Newcastle Borough Volunteering opportunities
Parents supporting parents when needed the most
Parenting can sometimes be hard and there are times when families struggle to cope with the overwhelming pressure of parenthood. A child's early years are the most important for their growth and development and every child deserves the best start in life
If you are a parent, have parenting experience, or want to make a difference to parents and children and if you have 3-4 hours a week to give, we need your help to support families across the Newcastle Borough
We have a wide range of volunteer roles where you can support families and our Home-Start scheme; these include:
Family Support volunteers: visit families in their own homes for 2-3 hours a week. They support parents and children with a variety of needs including: support to access local services and the wider community, support with parenting skills, routines and behaviours, understanding children's learning and development or provide a listening ear
Home-Start together community group: our stay and play community group is a fun session for parents and children to learn how to interact and engage with each other, for parents to meet other parents, join in with sing and sign and get crafting activity. Volunteers will support our family engagement worker in the delivery of the sessions
Admin volunteer: supporting our administration team and family support workers by volunteering your time to help with completing office based tasks including - inputting data, preparing resources for families and information gathering
Keep in touch volunteer: support the family support work and volunteer service teams by keeping in regular contact with families that are waiting for our support. The role involves offering a listening ear, information, advice and guidance until we can place a keyworker to support them
