Do you enjoy supporting families with children and young people?

By volunteering just a few hours each week, you can transform the lives of children, young people and their parents in your community!

Group volunteers are a welcoming face for families with children attending groups and they help to:

• encourage parents, children and young people to get involved in activities such as arts & crafts, games, outdoor fun play
• encourage parents, carers and young people to build confidence and wellbeing
• support afterschool workshops, drop-ins and weekend activities based on communities’ needs

We also provide fun indoor and outdoor activities for families over the school holidays such as spring break, summer term, October week and Christmas.

“FHANS has made an impact in my family's life in various ways. The support we got was amazing, I feel much more confident as a parent and a lot less anxious. I’m highly grateful for the support. it’s reassuring to know that there are a group of people who care about my family and I.” - Family
