Family Support - Become a TinyLife Volunteer
Would you like to help TinyLife to support even more families throughout Northern Ireland with a baby or babies requiring special or intensive care at birth?
TinyLife’s family support volunteers are hugely important to the work we do. By becoming a family support volunteer with TinyLife, not only will you be playing a vital role in helping us provide practical and emotional support to families during this difficult time, but you will also benefit from this rewarding experience by learning new skills, making new friendships and contributing to your local community.
We need your help to help others!
As a family support volunteer you will be making a real impact on the lives of premature and ill babies and their families. Just some of the much needed help you will be providing is:
- Helping parents with hospital visits while their baby is in neo-natal care
- Visiting families in their own homes to provide hands-on support in caring for the new baby
- Helping and playing with siblings
- Providing a listening ear and reassurance for parents during what can be a very stressful and difficult time in their lives
Even a few hours of your time a week will make a huge difference. And you don’t have to be a parent to volunteer for TinyLife. If you have a real desire to help vulnerable babies and their families, then we want to hear from you.
To help you feel more confident as a volunteer, TinyLife will provide you with comprehensive training and regular support.
