Are you passionate about infant feeding? Would you like to support Norfolk families with their feeding journey?
Our Infant Feeding Peer Support Volunteers have all parented their own babies and provide valuable emotional and practical infant feeding support to parents. This is a rewarding role where you can volunteer for a cause you feel passionately about, give back to your community and learn new skills along the way.
Our volunteers empower parents to reach their own infant feeding goals, and need to be able to listen, empathise and support others in a sensitive and non-judgemental way. They help to promote and normalise breastfeeding/chestfeeding & support all infant feeding parents, including those who are formula feeding, mixed feeding and introducing or feeding solid foods. Volunteers will attend community groups across the region to offer support and information to parents around all aspects of infant feeding.
Volunteers will attend a bespoke one day online training course which aligns with our UNICEF Baby Friendly Standards, and will be supported in their role by the infant feeding team.
Please visit the East of England Community Health and Care NHS Trust website and click on the Get Involved/Volunteering tab to read about how we recruit, welcome and involve volunteers.
