Use your experience to support a family — and build your own skills along the way
As a Home-Start Camden & Islington volunteer, you’ll use your own parenting or childcare experience to support a local parent who may be feeling overwhelmed, isolated or lacking confidence. By spending just 2–3 hours a week with a family, you can help them feel more confident in their parenting, access local activities and services, attend appointments, and feel less alone.
At the same time, you’ll develop practical skills in communication, active listening, relationship-building and problem-solving. You’ll learn how to support someone without judgement, build your confidence in working with different families and gain first-hand experience that can strengthen your CV and support future employment or volunteering opportunities.
You’ll receive full preparation before you start, ongoing training and regular support from the Home-Start team, so you won’t be expected to do it alone.
Most importantly, you’ll be able to see the difference your time makes — helping a parent recognise their strengths, feel more confident and make positive changes for themselves and their children.
