If you would like to know more about Parent Carers Together including what is the role of a parent carer forum and more specifically, why we do what we do, we have developed an introduction presentation. We hope you will feel inspired to volunteer with us.
Our Current Volunteer Opportunities
As a small organisation with limited resources, we depend on the help of volunteers, If you feel you could offer some time and skills in networking, gathering feedback, publicity, marketing, running events or indeed anything else you feel you could offer Parent Carers Together, please don’t hesitate to get in touch, we’d love to hear from you!
We are currently looking for volunteers for the roles listed below. Please fill out the parent carer volunteer expression of interest online form and we will be in touch.
Volunteer Week 2024
2024 National Volunteers’ Week was held between 3rd-9th June. The week always starts each year from the first Monday in June. This year, Volunteers’ week celebrated 40 years, having first been established in 1984, known back then as Volunteering England.
So, what is Volunteers’ Week? It is a week to celebrate the amazing contributions volunteers make to communities across the UK.
As well as helping others, volunteering has been shown to improve the wellbeing of volunteers too. It can feel good helping someone else out. Volunteering can also help you gain new skills and experiences, boost your confidence and self-esteem and build friendships.
Parent Carers Together thanked everyone who volunteers their time as either a parent rep or steering group member, without our volunteers the forum simply would not exist!
Volunteer Week 2023
The 39th year of volunteer week was held between 1st-7th June.
To mark the occasion, Louise the chair of our forum wrote a quote why she wanted to be involved with our steering group.
We also issued a statement to raise public awareness of the week and encourage parents and carers to come volunteer their time with us.
