Volunteering at Hawton Children's Centre

"Volunteering at Hawton Children's Centre"

About: Hawtonville Children's Centre

(as a volunteer/advocate),

I joined a training course last October to become a Perinatal Support Worker. It was a great course and I learnt lots of new skills. I was also offered the opportunity to take part in additional courses, such as Paediatric First Aid and  Speech and language courses.

Once we had completed the training I was able to meet new mums to offer support and someone to talk to, in the early days of bringing home a new baby. 

I really enjoyed my time volunteering at Hawtonville Children's Centre and the new skills  and confidence that I gained whilst being a volunteer have helped me to apply for jobs and I am happy to say I start in a new role as a one to one teaching assistant very soon.
