Complex Families Volunteer Support Project (360G-ocf-a061600000lvLqm)

£4,986

This grant will contribute to the salaries of the Family Co-ordinator, who supports and supervises the volunteers for this complex work. They assess referrals and match volunteers, provide supervision and reviews with families. The Administrator helps process referrals and monitoring. The grant will fund volunteer expenses for weekly visits lasting 2-4 hours. We will draw on a pool of around 9 experienced volunteers, and support 6-7 families at any one time; 10 over the course of the year. The grant would also pay for 2 day mental health awareness training for 16 volunteers, delivered by Restore.

Recipient Org: Description Home-Start Oxford wants to see a society in which every parent has the support they need to give their children the best possible start in life. We offer support, friendship and practical help to families with a child under five, and particularly those who are vulnerable, isolated or under stress. We recruit, train and support volunteers who make weekly visits to the family home, and also employ Family Support Workers whose experience mean we can reach those with very complex needs. We build trusting relationships to help with social isolation, mental health, parenting, disability, play, budgeting and recovery from abuse.
