We are delighted to have recently nominated our lovely volunteer, Jill, for a night away with Room to Reward. Jill has supported a number of families with us and always approaches her role with kindness, patience and a warm smile. She also has a creative streak which some of the families have really enjoyed! Thank you, Jill, for all you do 🩵

Our new group in Alfreton has been up and running for a couple of weeks now and we'd love to see some new faces.

Our sessions are for everyone:
💖 whether you've got a tiny baby who will sleep through the whole thing or a toddler who needs lots of entertaining
💖 whether you want to meet new people and have a chat or just sit and quietly play with your little one
💖 whether you go to groups every week or you're nervous about trying one out for the first time

We're here for you all 💕

Let us tell you a story... 📖

This is the true story of a family supported by one of our amazing volunteers. Sometimes the volunteers tell us that they don't feel they are doing much, but the impact of their support is enormous 💖

We are beyond excited to have been working with a very talented artist to create a stunning mural in our Family Room in Derby. Keep your eyes peeled for the grand reveal at the end of the month 👀

💙 Volunteer Preparation Course – Completed! 💗
A huge congratulations and thank you to our latest group of volunteers who have now completed their Family Support Derbyshire Volunteer Preparation Course! 🎉

Over the past few weeks, they’ve given up their evenings to learn more about the families we support, safeguarding, childhood experiences and what it means to walk alongside a family during what can sometimes be a difficult or lonely time.

We’ve had some brilliant discussions, lots of sharing, laughter and learning — and we’re so excited to see our new volunteers take their next steps with us. 💙

Our volunteers can make such a difference simply by being there — offering a listening ear, encouragement, practical support and a little bit of breathing space.

🌟 Could you be one of our next volunteers?

If you have a few hours a week to spare and would like to use your own experiences to support a local family, we’d love to hear from you. Full training and ongoing support are provided, and you could make a bigger difference than you realise.

📩 Get in touch with Family Support Derbyshire to find out more about volunteering with us.

By your side, not by yourself. 💙💗
