Adoption UK are recruiting volunteer Peer Mentors from the Northwest of England. 

Adoption UK is the leading charity for adopted and care experienced people, adoptive families, and others parenting children who can’t live with their birth parents. Set up in 1971, we’ll be here for adopted and care experienced children, adults and their families for as long as they need us. 

We connect people across the adoption community, support adopters and adoptees, and work with them to influence the decisions that affect their lives. 

The peer mentoring service was set up as adopters need to talk to people who have lived experience of adoption.

Using a peer to peer model of support the scheme relies on trained volunteer mentors who have the  experience and  desire to help others through their adoption journey. 

Mentors provide support, share adoption experience and encouragement to potential and experienced adopters.

Our mentors are all adoptive parents, they represent a wide range of experiences and backgrounds in terms of gender, ethnicity, sexuality and family composition. As well as their experience of adoption they bring a wealth of experience from their home and/or working life.

We can offer our volunteers. 

• Flexible hours that fit around other commitments and family life.
• Training 
• On going support. 
• Opportunities to connect with other adoption volunteers 
• Free Adoption UK membership
