Volunteer with DorPIP

Can you help create those Moments that Matter?

  • Join us in making a positive impact

    At DorPIP, we support parents in bonding with their babies to help them to enjoy those special moments. But we can't do it alone. We're looking for compassionate individuals who have some spare time and a big heart to join us in supporting parents in our community. Together, we can make a positive impact and create lasting memories for families.

  • Learn new skills, boost your self-esteem, and create lasting friendships.

    Volunteering is not just about giving; it's also about receiving. When you volunteer, you gain a sense of purpose, personal fulfillment, and a profound connection to your community. It's an opportunity to learn new skills, boost your self-esteem, and create lasting friendships.

  • We celebrate diversity

    We celebrate your unique skills and experiences. Whether you're an excellent listener, a super organizer, a creative thinker, or simply someone who deeply cares, we've got a spot that's just right for you. We get it, life can be crazy busy! That's why we've made volunteering super flexible. You can choose to give an hour a month or dive in with 30 hours a week – whatever suits your schedule best.

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."

Volunteer with us and use your time, expertise, and experience to empower others. Together, we can make a difference.
