Baby & Me Volunteer - Merseyside and Cheshire
“We all want our pregnancy to be a positive experience, but it can be difficult and we can all struggle”
Do you have lived experience of facing a pregnancy challenge and would like the opportunity to support others during their pregnancy?
The volunteer role involves six Koala Northwest online training sessions, one session per week and the opportunity to gain a formal qualification in Peer Support Theory and Practice. The training is comprehensive and has had positive feedback.
“The volunteer training so far has been great, it’s been lovely to virtually meet the other volunteers, everyone seems friendly and welcoming, and I’m excited about making a difference to families’ lives in a positive way. So far, I have learnt a lot about tobacco use in pregnancy which I had very limited knowledge on, it’s opened my eyes about lots of different barriers some families experience. I’ve also had a broader understanding of Aces and poverty in pregnancy”
All volunteer support offered as part of this role is over the phone, so this is a home-based volunteer role with volunteers based in Merseyside or Cheshire.
Our volunteers will be there to offer an understanding, listening ear and emotional support to families on their pregnancy journey.
Volunteering can change a family's life and 1-2 hours per week can make such a huge difference.
Volunteers must live in Merseyside or Cheshire.
