Volunteering with Peeps

People volunteer with Peeps for many different reasons, and we have a variety of roles available to suit everyone. Gifting your time means we can support more families. 

If you have experienced or understand H.I.E. (yourself, family or a friend), have a strong ability to listen and support others, are enthusiastic and passionate, and have a little time to dedicate to making a difference, we would love you to get in touch.  

We’re always open to new ideas and skills, so if there’s a particular volunteer role you’re interested in, please let us know! If you’re unsure, here’s a few of our current volunteer roles: 

• Events Volunteer 
• Peeps Together Volunteer
• Community Connect Volunteer 
• Peer Support Volunteer
• Social Media Volunteer

“I knew pretty early on how incredible this charity is, so when I was given the opportunity to be a volunteer I jumped at the chance. Initially it was just helping out at events then I decided to do my training to become a peer supporter. Having the opportunity to help support other parents in a similar situation is incredible and it’s given me the chance to give back to all those who helped me in the early days.” – Amanda 

“I wanted to volunteer to be able to offer other parents what I didn’t have; a listening ear, someone who could understand what I was going through and someone who could meet me where I was at. I absolutely love talking to other parents, as that’s where I feel all the support and knowledge truly lies- in lived experiences.” – Jen 

We also have lots of fundraising opportunities! For more information, please contact Jess@peeps-hie.org
