I used to get a home start volunteer so I know what it is like to get help when you need it. When you think there is nobody else there to listen and be a support.
As a volunteer I like that I can help other families because I’ve been there. I listen to mums keep an eye on the kids, to give the mums a break and get some me time.
I like the fact I can give back after home start gave to me. It has increased my confidence and showed that there is more to life than being a parent. I feel really valued and have realised I have really valuable skills that I can share.
