The aim: To assist organisations in deciding how to commence a Family Volunteering programme whilst also providing the tools required to do so.

Definition: Family Volunteering is a type of volunteering that involves more than one person from a household or extended family, volunteering together or alongside each other. Here, 'Family' is considered in its broadest, most inclusive sense.

There are many ways to develop a Family Volunteering programme and many different levels of guidance required to do so. We provide support to help you overcome barriers or doubts, by demonstrating how to make it easier for you and your volunteers.

For your organisation – You will have the ability to reach multiple generations with your mission and build a larger base of support. You will also engage people who might not otherwise volunteer.

For your community – It helps to instil good values which in turn makes a stronger community.

For the family – It offers a shared activity which helps create memories and forge bonds. It also provides families with a shared sense of accomplishment.
