Wanted : Helpline Volunteers

Helpline Volunteers Wanted

FNF's telephone Helpline is a vital first point of contact with the charity for many parents struggling to see their children after a relationship breakdown. Volunteers offer emotional support and information about the charity and other resources. Knowledge of the family court system is a bonus - but not essential. More important are patience, compassion, and an understanding of the benefits to children of close relationships with both parents.

We ask our volunteers to cover the phone line one evening a week from 6-10pm. It's valuable work and often very fulfilling. If you would like to help, please contact our office on 0300 0300 110, or email admin@fnf.org.uk.

Working on the FNF Helpline can be very rewarding, sometimes literally so. One long-standing FNF Helpline volunteer, Pauline Green, won the Helplines Partnership Volunteer of the Year 2018 Award. Congratulations to Pauline and thank you and all our Helpline volunteers, for doing such a great job.

You can read Pauline’s story of how she came to be involved here.
