HOW TO GET INVOLVED Join Our Team
Become a volunteer at Rotherham Families First and help change lives for the better.
Our unit is based at Parkgate Shopping and is open three mornings a week: Mondays, Thursday and Fridays 9am-12pm.
Some of our volunteers come once or twice a week, others help out when they can around work or family commitments.
Whether you can give a few hours once in a while or commit more regularly, every helping hand counts.
