Do you need someone to support you?

Being a parent is hard. You are not alone. 

All parents need a little help at times. We'll soon be offering volunteer support for those in care or care leavers, who are parents.

They can help you:

  • By giving you emotional and moral support
  • Practical support with daily life
  • Helping you to find out other information about support services

For information call or text Fionna 07866 224876 or ask your Social Worker or Personal Advisor for more details.

If you're interested in becoming a volunteer to help young parents in care, check out the Ohana Champions volunteering opportunity
