Volunteer Opportunity with Parents 1st

Posted on: September 29, 2026

Could you volunteer to make a difference of a lifetime? Help Parents 1st support parents through pregnancy, birth & beyond…
To help meet the demand for support for families across Essex, we’re looking for volunteers in Basildon, Thurrock, Southend and the surrounding areas to help support new and expectant parents at our outreach events. We currently run regular outdoor walk and talk sessions, antenatal information sessions, coffee mornings, fitness and first aid courses and need volunteers to assist our friendly team at these events. Volunteers will help our peer supporters run the events – you might be welcoming parents, making tea, chatting and connecting with parents or holding a baby whilst mum has a drink!
We’re running training for new volunteers during October. Please take a look at our website for more information and to register your interest in taking part in the training:
Training dates:
�� Wednesdays 7th, 14th, 21st & 28th October 2026
⏰ 10:00am–1:00pm
�� In person, Corringham Fire Station, 37 Fobbing Road, Corringham, Stanford Le Hope SS17 9BG
