We offer a range of parent support services, but our primary service is our peer mentoring, befriending volunteers.

A volunteer with parenting experience offers support to parents either in the home or digitally. The volunteer offers tailor-made one-to-one support, regularly on a weekly basis.

Support can be:

Emotional support.
Direct support for children including playing, listening, encouraging development.
Practical help with getting out, budgeting, meal planning and cooking.
Information and links to other organisations including health and educational services.

The support is led by the parent with the volunteer alongside them.
