Volunteering can be a very rewarding experience and there are many ways in which you can volunteer to support the work we do and the people we work with.

IFS have taken on volunteers for the last 25 years with over 30% of those volunteers going on to gain employment with us or gainful employment elsewhere. 

If you would like to get involved and volunteer for Impact Family Services all you need to do is get in touch.

You can either complete the application form here and email to [email protected] or call Lisa 07375 788 819 or Julie 07375788835 for an informal chat. 

Take a look at the different volunteering roles we currently have available...

The NSPCC have a range of excellent Podcasts if you want to gain insight into our specialist area of work, domestic abuse. We would like to draw your attention to the "why domestic abuse is a child protection issue" in particular. Listen to the episode to: 

• gain an insight into the dynamics of domestic abuse (e.g. how abusive relationships work and patterns of abusive behaviour) 
• understand the effects on children and young people, including how their experiences may be minimised and why professional curiosity is important 
• learn about how you can improve your practice around domestic abuse and reduce risks to children.
