Have you been looking for a way to give back and support your local community? If so, why not consider volunteering for Family Lives and make a difference to Hillingdon parents and carers.
Parent Carer Champions are volunteers who play a crucial role in their communities by supporting parents and caregivers of children with emerging additional needs. In addition, they offer practical guidance, emotional encouragement, and valuable insights drawn from their own experiences.
