The prep course was my introduction to Home-Start and the amazing work that they do within Telford and Wrekin, which was run during lockdown and within the limitations of Zoom. It was impressively adapted and seemed an excellent use of time.
I found the course informative; revisiting my dated knowledge of early childhood development and teaching me about a range of mental health conditions. I enjoyed getting to know other volunteers through tasks set to breakout rooms and am now keen to meet them in person.
When meeting my first family I felt both well equipped to start supporting them but also well supported, knowing who to contact for further advice. The prep course gave me the confidence to work within the community again following months of time at home recovering from major surgery. I am loving being a volunteer with Home-Start Telford & Wrekin.
