Make a difference to a local family.

Home-Start volunteers work alongside families to give compassionate and confidential support, tailored to each family’s needs.

Our volunteers need to have parenting experience and are often parents themselves. Home-visiting volunteers offer practical and emotional support and encourage parents’ strengths and emotional wellbeing. They support families in the home and in the community for one day a week for 2 hours.

Experience required

Volunteers are required to have parenting experience and can be all ages (over 18) and from all backgrounds. No qualifications are necessary - just listening skills, understanding, have discretion and be able to make a commitment to the families.

We welcome a variety of skills and interests. Volunteers should have a non-judgmental attitude and understand about the pressures of bringing up a family.

Travel details

Home-Start is based at 30 Whitehall St, Dundee. Volunteers visit families in the family home.
