Parent Volunteers

Home Parent Volunteers

We have many exciting opportunities for anyone who would like to make a real difference in someone's life. We are always looking for passionate and dedicated individuals to join our team.

Parent volunteers can make a difference in so many different ways. The provision of ongoing emotional and practical support for a parent with a learning disability should never be underestimated.
Many of our parents have experienced the difficult trauma of losing their children, and are at risk of being left to cope on their own. Having a volunteer could mean they are able to work through what has happened more easily, decreasing feelings of isolation and enabling them to access the support they need.

Below are the opportunities available for those wishing to volunteer with a parent with a learning disability.
