Mum and Toddler Group Volunteers

*Summary of the role:
The Mum and Toddler Group aims to lead discussion amongst local women, and provide a space to build connections and community. The children range from 0-4 years old. At this age range, children are active, inquisitive and developing their personalities! The main goal of this volunteering role is playing with and caring for the children.

*General responsibilities:
• Getting out appropriate toys and games for free play;
• Leading simple activities organised by the WFW;
• In time, and if they have appropriate experience, volunteers may wish to plan activities or games themselves;
• Adhering to training and guidelines given to ensure the safety and well-being of the children.

All help makes a difference and is greatly appreciated. For more details please contact Stevie Stacy, Homelessness Prevention Coordinator North at E Mail: steviestacy@bethanychristiantrust.com or tel.: 07436251810.
