Volunteering

With just a few hours you can transform the lives of young children and their parents.
Volunteering for Home-Start is an incredible thing to do. You really will make a difference to parents and children at a significant time in their lives. The contribution you make will be unique: as individual as you. It might sound like a cliché, but it’s true that volunteering changes lives – yours and others!
We believe that with a little love, a little time and a little effort, big things can happen! All those little moments add up!
And we mean it when we say local people like you are at the heart of Home-Start Dudley!
You can get involved in different ways – take a look at the opportunities below to find what’s right for you.
You’re also welcome to get in touch to have a chat about how you could help.
