Supporting People with Learning Disabilities.
OUR VOLUNTEERS MAKE WHAT WE DO POSSIBLE
Whether supporting a parent at meetings about their children, helping with the delivery of our domestic abuse awareness course or doing some essential admin in the office, our volunteers are crucial to the work we do and make a huge difference to parents and women with a learning disability.

- Receive training, supervision & development.

- Make a real difference to someone’s life.
- Gain teamwork skills with an amazing team!
- As well as planning & organization skills, problem solving skills and positive attributes.
