Volunteer with us

Are you friendly? Do you enjoy being part of a team? Are you passionate about supporting new parents and do you have some spare time? If so, we would love to hear from you!

Our charity’s vision is for every family in West Kent to have access to skilled and compassionate support during their parenting journey. Find out more about us

Volunteering is a wonderful opportunity to connect to your local community, build confidence, gain skills before returning to work or boost wellbeing by doing something that makes a real difference.

 

At Baby Umbrella we believe that everyone needs a village and you could be part of our supportive team.  

Ready to volunteer? Find out more about the opportunities we have available below, or apply now!

Hosts in our face to face groups

Our volunteer hosts are the face of Baby Umbrella.  They look after everyone who arrives, from the initial welcome (which has a huge impact on how comfortable visitors feel) to completing registration paperwork and providing hot drinks and Karen’s famous brownies! Hosts look after parents whilst they are waiting and ensure the group runs smoothly. 

See our group running times and locations here.

All our face to face volunteers must complete onboarding, safeguarding training and DBS checks before starting.

Fundraising and events

Do you have a few spare hours to help us out at an event? Perhaps you would like to organise your own? Looking for a fun project that will make a difference?   Our events cannot happen without you!

We run fundraising events throughout the year including photography, raffles and craft, where an extra pair of hands is always welcome!  You could also run a bake sale or take part in a challenge event.

Behind the scenes

We’re always looking for self-starters to help us with various jobs behind the scenes.  It could be social media, project admin, design, research, copywriting, grant applications and lots more!

Let us know if you have a skill you would like to offer – we would love to hear from you!
