Volunteering
Single Parents Wellbeing is built on the foundations of our community forging the community to be exactly what it needs to be for them. This has made us experts in co-production but also in recruiting and managing volunteers.
We have an incredible and dynamic volunteer support network, bespoke training, resources and community. It means that our volunteers stay with us. For some it is valuable experience so that they can change or improve their employment opportunities. For others it is about giving back to us and lending us their skills and competence; and some come along simply for the awesome community and the proven positive impact on their wellbeing and mental health.
Our retention rates are incredible so that has made a per person cost for on-boarding and training a volunteer to be incredible value for money.
It costs us £590 annually to train and support one volunteer, we currently have 54 active volunteers.
