Ways to volunteer for Home-Start
Check out the various roles Home-Starts offer so that you can support families and children in your community. There may also be other opportunities available to you, so if you have particular skills you’d like to offer us, or if you would like to learn something new, let us know, we’d love to hear from you.
Be a home-visitor
With knowledge and experience as a mum, dad, grandparent or carer, a Home-Start home-visitor could be the vital support a family needs and make a big difference to their lives.
Become a trustee
We have over 2,700 trustees based in every local Home-Start across the UK. It is a fantastic opportunity to support your local community whilst also developing your skillset in the workplace.
Family group volunteering
We have some really fun and exciting volunteer roles supporting families and children in group settings. It’s a fantastic opportunity for you to meet new friends, learn new skills, have fun and make a difference supporting your community.
Fundraising volunteering
Every year we have to turn away thousands of parents and children from our services because we don’t have the funds to help them all. There are many ways you can fundraise for your local Home-Start or for Home-Start UK.
Help in a Home-Start office
Our admin volunteers give a few hours each week to help behind the scenes at their local Home-Starts. The role and tasks will vary depending on the office at which you are based.
Volunteer with your company
With your help, we can support more families and with our help we can strengthen your brand, develop your staff and meet your corporate social responsibilities.
