Peer volunteers are ordinary single parents who help make our shared activities happen. At Single Parents’ Association they organise a wide range of peer activities, including family cafés, peer support groups, trips and events. What would you like to organize for families? We’re open to suggestions.
- Peer volunteers usually work in pairs or as part of a team.
- Peer volunteers receive help and support from the Peer Support Coordinator.
- Volunteering can be regular (approx. 3–5 hours per month) or a one-off commitment.
Benefits – as a peer volunteer, you can
- bring meaningful activities into your everyday life.
- make use of your own strengths.
- help provide enjoyable activities for other single-parent families.
- become part of the association’s peer volunteer community.
- take part in training and peer support meetings for volunteers 2–3 times a year.
- enjoy recreational activities for peer volunteers at the end of both the spring and autumn seasons.
In the words of our peer volunteers:
“A way to do good and feel good yourself.”
“Empowering and uplifting.”
“An important part of my life.”
