Join our amazing team of award-winning volunteers!
In 2023, our flagship Essex volunteering programme was awarded the Kings Award for Voluntary Service!
Equivalent to an MBE, this award recognises the heart of everything we do: the dedication, compassion, and lived experience of our incredible volunteers.
Could you make a difference of a lifetime?
All babies deserve the best possible start in life. Peer supporters help other parents feel confident and supported during pregnancy, birth and beyond, enabling them to learn the skills they need to be the best parent they can be!
Are you…
- A good listener?
- Someone who doesn’t judge others?

How do I get involved?
We have a variety of different volunteering opportunities available - from providing 1:1 support, being a birth buddy through labour and birth, supporting the running of a Facebook group or helping with local community outreach and events.
