Why volunteer with Kent Family Hub?

Flexible volunteering hours

Many volunteer roles have set hours; with us, you choose. Maybe you can work for a few hours a week or just the occasional event. You could volunteer at groups running at a time that suits you. Or apply and talk to us about the hours that fit with your schedule.

We will always try to:

• be inclusive
• accommodate different lifestyles
• respect your time constraints and choices.

Training and development

Choose from our training and development opportunities. You can upskill while you’re doing something you enjoy! Some volunteers even go on to work in our buddy schemes out and about in the community. Or maybe you would like a leadership role to be your next step, working in Family Hubs or running community groups.

So why not choose an opportunity based on your goals, interests and skills.

Choose a volunteer role

Support families and children aged 0 to 5-years-old

Are you passionate about helping families with young children? Help create a warm, friendly space for parents, carers and children. Join us in groups like Stay and Play. Or volunteer in our Little Talkers course for children who need extra help with speech, language or communication.

Volunteer to make a difference:

• volunteer with families
• building parent and baby relationships
• working with babies, toddlers, parents and carers
• supporting new parents and parents-to-be with their mental health
• helping more children have the same opportunities.

You will get the knowledge and skills you need in our essential training. Our range of training courses help you feel supported every step of the way.

Tell us about your skills and interests. Perhaps you are really caring or love learning about child development. We’ll try to match you to a role where you can get experience and use your skills.

This is the perfect role for you to start helping families in a meaningful way.

Administration, gardening, maintenance and creative volunteers

Do you prefer supporting in a non-family facing role? Help make our spaces safe, friendly, and organised.

• administrative support
• gardening
• building maintenance
• creative projects, like murals.

If you’re practical, detail-oriented, or enjoy giving hands-on help, we can’t wait to hear from you.

Apply to become a volunteer

To apply you’ll need to let us know:

• the role you would like
• your details: name, address, date of birth, phone number, and email
• days and times when you might be available
• a little bit about why you want to volunteer
• any experience you have and your skills or interests
• details for 2 people outside your family to give a character reference for you.
