DorPIP is seeking a Communications Assistant volunteer to complement the existing communications team in their duties.
The first 1001 days of a child’s life is a window of opportunity to impact on health outcomes throughout their lifespan, including long-term implications for the child’s cognitive and emotional development and their resilience to stress.
Volunteers are the heart and soul of DorPIP. They play an important role in giving a helping hand to our team, and to our amazing families, who might be going through some tough times. Just by being there, volunteers can bring a whole lot of positivity to the lives of both parents and their little ones.
Rosie - DorPIP Volunteer
"When I first started volunteering for DorPIP, taking my first classes, I needed to write up reflections for my qualifications. I asked one parent if she had noticed any feelings change towards her baby after the infant massage course. Both parents were suffering with postnatal depression which they had previously shared at an earlier class. The young mother thought for a few moments and then said Yes! With a smile and said how much she now enjoyed just holding her baby, that before the course she had been giving the baby to her partner to hold. I went home on an absolute high from that very special moment, which I will never forget. It made all the hard work in training, and doing the exam so very rewarding."
