Summary
Would you be interested in providing weekly support and practical help to parents who have a child or young person with Down Syndrome in their own home?Detailed description
Often the most valuable and powerful support for parents is time spent with other parents who carry the lived experience of raising a child who has Down Syndrome. Time to talk through the challenges and to share the success with someone who really understands, can build confidence, reduce isolation and increase parental self-esteem. If this resonates with you and you can spare a few hours week, the role of volunteer befriender could provide the perfect volunteering experience for you.
