Volunteer Opportunities
Give Children the Childhood They Deserve – Become a Home-Start Volunteer
Childhood is precious. By joining our volunteer team, you’ll help give children across Trafford, Salford, and Wigan the safe, happy start in life they deserve.
As a Home-Start home-visiting volunteer, you’ll support families with young children who are going through challenging times. You don’t need special qualifications — just compassion, a few hours a week, and a desire to make a difference.
Our hybrid training course is designed to equip you with the skills and confidence to support families effectively. It includes:
• 6 online modules – complete in your own time, at your own pace
• 2 face-to-face training days – build connections and learn in a supportive environment
The course has two aims:
• To prepare you for anything you may encounter as a volunteer
• To help our co-ordinators get to know you, so they can match you with the right family

We ask that our volunteers are parents themselves as we offer the peer to peer support but this isn't an essential requirement
