The Parent Champion programme is a great opportunity for parents, carers, or people that work with families to get involved in the community and support other parents. As a Parent Champion, volunteers share their experiences, skills, and knowledge with other parents, and help them access the information and services they need. They also benefit from the training, mentoring, and networking opportunities that the programme offers. Volunteering as a parent champion, helps to make a positive difference in the lives of other parents and children, and gain valuable skills and confidence as an individual. There is no minimum number of hours that we ask from our volunteers, making the role flexible and adaptable.
Training in the county, with more dates in different locations to be added later in the year.
