Firstly, we'd like to say a big THANK YOU to all our volunteers for everything you do !

We get lots of great feedback from our families about the positive difference you are making to their lives.

"He really enjoys her company and we do too, it's wonderful, she just has this way with him."

"They're really good buddies, I can't speak highly enough of her. She is a very good influence."

"He's so good for the whole family he's like a breath of fresh air. Every family should have one."

We are keen for you to be able to keep in touch with each other so we have created a volunteer forum where you can share your experiences and swap ideas and tips with other volunteers. If you are interested then please join up and check it out by clicking here.

Of course we love to hear from you too. We need you to send in your hours and expenses form each month even when you are not claiming expenses because this is how we keep track of how much support families are receiving. If you would prefer to speak to one of us, you have any problems or you just want to chat about how it's going then call us on 0117 9415 868, we will be really happy to hear from you.

To download a copy of the hours and expenses form click here or call us and we will be happy to send some in the post.

Information on expenses

We are able pay for travel costs to and from a family's home and we have a small fund available to pay towards outing travel costs and activities. Please be aware that this is a limited fund to be shared between everyone. If / when it runs out then it will become the family's responsibility to cover outings costs. We will of course let you know if the fund has run out before any expenses are claimed because we certainly don't want anyone to be out of pocket !
