Volunteer Spotlight – Jan

One of our lovely volunteers Jan has been kind enough to share her own story about being a Home-Start Wessex volunteer. Please read below.

“I love being a volunteer for Home-Start Wessex. It is very enjoyable and satisfying for me in many ways. I feel supported by my coordinator at every step, the training is interesting and ongoing, and it helps me in my role. Every visit is different – it could be staying in to help, chat, read or play, or going out for a walk, to the park, shop, library or baby and toddler group. Anything, as I am guided by the family and what they need. Over the months, you really get to know the family, and I feel they look forward to my visits. I learn so much from the families themselves, my coordinator, training, and other volunteers.”

A big thank you to Jan for sharing. If you’d like some more information on volunteering, please get in touch with us today.
