Get Involved

We exist due to the generosity of our incredible volunteers. Volunteers can contribute in any way they are able, perhaps running a local group, or maybe hosting a picnic once a year. There really is a role for everybody. As well as support with groups and family meet ups, we would love to hear from you if you have admin, business or fundraising skills!

For volunteers who are running a local or online support group, we offer a bespoke 5 week Peer Support Facilitator Training Course (3hrs a week) which aims to provide participants with the listening and reflective skills needed to run a peer support session. We also provide regular supervision sessions for our volunteers with a therapist, and our Community Programmes Manager makes sure all our volunteers are onboarded smoothly and confident in their roles.

Have any questions or want to have a chat first? Email our Community Programmes Manager: helen@wearefamilyadoption.org.uk

Our volunteers really do make a difference

“Adoption is the most rewarding but also the most challenging journey. Being part of WAF from an early point meant we felt listened to and most importantly, not alone. Being a WAF volunteer has enabled me to give back to one of the most authentic and special communities out there.”

With the generous support of our partners, funders, and individual donations, We Are Family provides members with access to expert guidance, practical resources, and peer support when it is needed most. Donations allow us to keep our services free and available to every adoptive family. Make a donation here to help this support continue.

Join us and become part of the family.
