Could you offer to open your home to a child once a month or in an emergency?

Facing life alone is hard, and when you feel there is no one there to support you it is a scary place to be. Therefore, at Safe Families we offer support, hope and belonging to improve the lives of those in our communities. We link children, young people and families with local volunteers who can offer them help and support.

Could you come alongside a family in your local community who needs a friend?
Offer respite to a child overnight or in the daytime? Bring hope, belonging and support to children, families and care leavers to create relationship and connections because everybody deserves to belong?

Perks and Benefits
Full training is given and an enhanced DBS and references are required. Our comprehensive training modules will ensure you are equipped and empowered to support families local to you and you're not alone - the team support you!

Skills You'll Need
Do you have a heart for helping people who are isolated and struggling to manage? If you can offer to open your home to a child once a month or in an emergency, we'd love to hear from you.

 

When :

Flexible as agreed by the team, volunteer and family.
