Babyzone Family Volunteer

Babyzone is a charity which aims to support to families with babies and toddlers. We’re focused on breaking down the barriers that many parents face in accessing high quality early years offers.

Babyzones are currently delivered each week in Youth Zones where we run free exploratory play and evidence-based early years classes in a clean, safe and welcoming environment. We design our approach around the needs of lower income families, but are open to all. Parents don’t sign up in advance, there’s no timetable and we don’t take names and personal details from our families. We believe that by removing barriers we are creating a fully accessible, inclusive place for parents and carers to bring their children to play, read, chat and sing together.

We would love to have a team of Volunteers to help us support and engage with the families who attend Babyzone. We would love for you to do this by:

- speaking with the families, some of which are experiencing loneliness, PPD, poverty, abuse 

- play with the children and introduce them to some of the activities we have going on

- keep the play spaces tidy and accessible 

- direct the families to the correct support or classes that we run 

- support with set up and pack down

You are welcome to choose what hours you'd like to volunteer, as long as they are between 8.30am-2.30pm. 

We welcome Volunteers of any age, as long as you are over 18 and willing to support families and children.
