Katie - Early Years Alliance Volunteer for the Best Start project

Story submitted by Katie Blay, Early Years Alliance Skills Development Team Leader on behalf of Katie

I volunteer at Swineshead Children’s Centre. My favourite thing about volunteering is meeting new families and children in the local community and being able to pass on my experience of being a mum of three to other families. I believe support in parenting is what we all need at times.

Volunteering within the Children’s Centre has helped me gain confidence in working with young children and the ‘Bizzy Family Fun’ group we run has allowed me to bring my arts and craft side out. It is such a nice environment to volunteer in and you are fully supported by the Best Start Skills Development Officer.
