Volunteer Parent Representatives Needed

'Becoming a Rep has been so rewarding for me, I have learned new skills, met new friends and feel I make a difference to the lives of people who contact me.'
Quote from a current Volunteer Parent Representative

Contact a Family Scotland invites applications from parents of a disabled child to join our team of volunteers working throughout Scotland.

Our Volunteer Parent Representatives are all parents of disabled children who offer information and support to other parents in their area. They receive on-going training and support as well as full expenses and enjoy being part of a supportive and happy team.

For more information, an informal chat or an information pack please call Jacqui Law on Tel: 01387 263 563. Or e-mail: jacqui.law@cafamily.org.uk

We look forward to hearing from you!

Contact a Family Scotland acknowledges the generous support of The Big Lottery Scotland and The Scottish Executive.
