Are you interested in volunteering?

We are always looking for people to help us out in a variety of different ways:

Home-visiting: The main focus of our work is based around volunteers who visit families in their homes each week. Our home-visiting volunteers all have parenting experience and, attend a 40 hour preparation course before being matched with a family. They will then visit the family each week for up to 3 hours. See Downloads page for home-visiting Volunteer Application Form.

Trustees: The volunteers who manage Home-Start Cotswolds are called trustees. Our trustees bring together a range of skills and experience to help run the scheme effectively. Trustees meet together every 6 weeks and often get involved in additional projects such as profile raising.

Projects: There are a number of different areas where volunteers could get involved in helping out our office staff. This could be anything from delivering leaflets or researching local resources that may assist our families.

Regular support and training is offered to all our volunteers as well as a quarterly newsletter to keep them informed of all activities.
