Home-Start Wandsworth volunteers support families with young children in Wandsworth dealing with a variety of difficulties including: post-natal depression, isolation, physical and mental health problems, bereavement or financial worries. Volunteers work alongside families to give compassionate, non-judgemental, confidential support, tailored to each family. They help families regain their confidence and empower them to build connections with other support services and the wider community to reduce isolation.As a Home-Start volunteer, you will be given all the training and support to be effective and make a real difference to families in your community. Our ongoing training programme helps prepare you to support families in their home, covering a range of topics including mental health, child development, boundaries and safeguarding.Applications will be closing shortly for our next training course, starting on Thursday 7 May and running every Thursdays for 8 weeks excluding 28 May.If you have parental or any other experience with young children, then we would love to hear from you.
