Home-Start is one of the largest family support networks in the UK. We are currently recruiting parent volunteers to support families in Exeter, East Devon and Mid Devon.
Do you have parenting experience, or have worked with children, or have lived experience of the struggles facing families today, and would you be able to give 2-3hrs, once a week, to support a struggling local family at home? We work with families who are experiencing difficulties for any number of reasons and are often vulnerable and isolated and often without their own families nearby.
Full training is provided through online modules and a face to face introductory and closing session. Further details can be found on our website: https://homestarteemd.org.uk/volunteering/
