We are looking for new volunteers to join us, supporting families in the Cotswolds area.
By becoming a home visiting volunteer, you will make a real difference to the lives of babies, toddlers and young children in our local community. Visiting a family once a week, not only will you make a positive impact on them, our volunteers feedback that they get just as much from it themselves…“I love volunteering, it’s one of the highlights of my week! It’s wonderful to have the opportunity to build a relationship with another Mum and their children. I come away feeling lifted and with a real buzz each week.”
If you have parenting experience and can spare 2-3 hours on a week day, then please get in touch to find out more. We are looking for volunteers to join us who understand the pressures of family life, can offer a listening ear, along with practical, non-judgemental support. We offer comprehensive training for the role, and you’ll be supported throughout by one of our Coordinators.
Our next ‘Volunteer Preparation Course’ starts in January 2026 (see dates below). If you’d like to come and find out more, we are holding an ‘Information Morning’ on:
Thursday 20th November, 10.30am – 12pm at Cirencester Baptist Church, Chesterton Lane, Cirencester GL7 1YE
If you can’t make it to our Information Morning but would like to know more, please feel free to get in touch on 01285 885391 or send us an email at office@home-start-cotswolds.org.uk. We’d be really happy to talk you through our home visiting volunteer role and answer any questions you may have.
We run one training course per year and our next one starts in January 2026:
– 22nd January 2026 – 19th March 2026 (not 19th Feb for half term)
– Thursday mornings, 9.30am – 1.00pm
– Cirencester Baptist Church, Chesterton Lane, Cirencester GL7 1YE
We look forward to hearing from you! You can also find more information on our volunteering pages of our website here.
