VOLUNTEERS NEEDED TO SUPPORT SERVICES FOR FAMILIES, SAYS LOCAL FAMILY SUPPORT CHARITY

HOME-START Knowsley has just run a successful training programme but still needs more volunteers. The next training programme is due to start in May and we would like to encourage people from the local community to get involved.

Scheme Manager Gillian McKinnon who leads a team of 4 staff and 36 volunteers at the Huyton based charity located in Rupert Road, is launching an appeal and says she must recruit at least 10 more volunteers to continue to provide help and information to local people. All we ask is for a minimum of 3 hours commitment per week. We provide all out of pocket expenses.

“Our work is very important, so we want to get more people involved at Home-Start Knowsley. Since we opened, our staff and volunteers have helped hundreds of families cope with the stresses a young family can bring.” said
Gillian McKinnon, Scheme Manager.

Volunteers offer emotional support, information and practical help to all Families with children under the age of 5 in the Knowsley area. Nationally, Home-Start’s local branches in England and Wales offer free and confidential services to around 33,000 families and 70,000 children every year.

“Training is provided and the work is very varied, rewarding and sometimes stressful, so we want to hear from people who are non-judgmental, patient and understanding. We’re also very keen to hear from young people who would like to join the team and bring alternative skills like IT support, PR, leaflet design or putting together our monthly newsletter”
says Gillian McKinnon, Scheme Manager.

Anyone interested in volunteering for Home-Start Knowsley is asked to call Tracey Whistlecraft on 0151 480 3910 or email him for more information.
