| Recipient Org: Description | Our aim is to provide support and friendship to families at home and help parents to build better lives for their children in our community (Basildon, Billericay and Wickford), so every child gets a good start in life.Our parent volunteers visit families for 2 hours a week providing friendship, a listening ear and help with the children e.g. through play or reading to the children.They help families to get back into the community and build their confidence through praise. Our main activities are that we recruit, train and support local parent volunteers. We have a Safer Recruitment procedure where they undergo two interviews (one in the volunteers home), two references and a police DBS Check. They attend a 10 week preparation course with modules on Safeguarding, confidentiality, family issues e.g. Emotional/mental illness, disability, domestic abuse, addictions, child development/behaviour. We have volunteers who are trustees who manage the scheme on our Management committee |
