New Community Support Volunteer Training with Parents 1st

Could you volunteer and make a lasting difference in your community? Parents 1st is inviting compassionate individuals to join their Community Support Volunteer Training this June and July.

To help meet the growing demand for support across Essex, Parents 1st is seeking volunteers to support new and expectant parents at a range of welcoming community outreach events. These include outdoor walk-and-talk sessions, antenatal information sessions, coffee mornings, fitness groups, and first aid courses.

As a volunteer, you will play an important role in supporting both families and the wider team. This may involve welcoming parents, preparing refreshments, offering a friendly listening ear, helping to create a relaxed and inclusive environment, or even holding a baby while a parent takes a well-earned break.

This is a rewarding opportunity to build connections, support local families, and contribute to stronger, healthier communities across Essex.
