You will be matched with a family to help them deal with challenges they face. You will support parents as they learn to cope, improve their confidence and build better lives for their children.
Families we support have at least one child under the age of 8, live in the Southside and require home-visiting support due to challenges such as illness, loneliness, single parenting, abuse or seeking asylum/refuge. When matched, a volunteer will visit once a week for 2-3 hours and provide support in line with these needs, aiming to reduce feelings of isolation, build parents' confidence and skills and access local facilities, amongst many other possible outcomes.
