Family Mentor – Help a Family Thrive
Southend-on-Sea
With Volunteering Matters
Behind many front doors in Southend-on-Sea are families doing their best — often while facing isolation, financial stress, and low confidence.
You could be the person who helps change that.
As a Family Mentor, you’ll build a supportive, trusting relationship with a local family. Through weekly visits, you’ll provide encouragement, practical guidance, and a steady presence that helps parents rediscover their strengths.
You won’t be expected to “fix” problems. Instead, you’ll empower families to find their own solutions and reconnect with their community.
