Call to Action…..
We are always looking for volunteers
If you’re a dad who’s had experience with Under 2’s and would like to help other dads, who are in a situation you may have been in, then we would love to hear from you, your help and input would be invaluable.
Even if you haven’t had a difficult experience with being a dad, then don’t let this put you off, you will also have a lot to bring to others. All our volunteers are given training and support is on hand every day.
Volunteer Roles
- Outreach – Joint Facilitating Walk & Talk Sessions
- Dad Chat in Antenatal Wards
- Supporting Dads Online
- Helping Promote the Service at Events
- Sharing Lived Experience
- You will be meeting dads at various venues, speaking to them and distributing resources, as well as facilitating our face to face groups for dads in various situations
- You will be monitoring, moderating, developing and contributing to our online support groups and also co-facilitating dad and baby events in various venues.
- Any experiences you have had of any of the challenges dads face, such as miscarriage or perinatal loss, perinatal mental health issues, supporting a partner through perinatal mental health issues, wellbeing, etc, are invaluable to us and the dads you will be talking to. You may not realize how important you are to fellow dads, but you are.
The rewards from becoming a volunteer are fantastic. Not just for you personally, but also for those you are helping.
Making a difference
– Thank you so much for helping me bond with my twin daughters
– the help you gave was invaluable and enabled me to spend time with my son, change him, feed and wind without him screaming and crying, I feel things are moving in the right direction.
Our volunteer training is engaging and empowering and sets you on the right track to protect both the dads, families and yourself .
