Since retiring I have been a volunteer for Home Start. I am giving up at Christmas because of our imminent emigration but thought I should let people know about how it works. I support one family who have two children under 5 for 2 hours each week. The only qualification you need to volunteer is that you have been a parent or step parent so go right ahead.....GIVE IT A GO.
The training is detailed and good. The CRB checks are thorough. You have nothing to lose other than 2 hours a week!
Well, have now changed the dates that our furniture is being taken to the States. Now going in March so we HAVE to sell our house by then come hell or high water. If we were younger we could just wait a few years if necessary but we are really looking forward to being together and that needs to be sooner rather than later.
