Having a baby isn’t easy. It’s full of challenges and struggles.
Our LEAP Befrienders are here to help by introducing you to essential activities and services in your area.
They meet up with you now and again, introducing you to local activities and other mums.
You might want help because:
Mums or carers with a child aged 0–18 months, living in the LEAP area. Check if you live in the LEAP area.
If you are patient, friendly and you can commit 1-2 hours a week to befriending other parents we want to hear from you. We'd especially love to hear from parents who speak multiple languages.
Our next training on 16 November, you'll get training for the role and a free creche is provided for your little ones. Get in touch using the details below.
Parent Champion Befrienders are trained volunteers who have passed a DBS check.
If you would like us to pair you with a Befriender — or you would like to become a Befriender — please contact Kimberlin Dunkley, Parent Champions Coordinator.
