Volunteer with us

Get involved with Family Voice Peterborough and help make a real difference for local families.

Whether you join us as a trustee or a volunteer, you’ll be supporting children and young people with SEND, amplifying the voices of parent carers, and shaping services in our community.

There are flexible ways to contribute, and every role helps create lasting, positive change.

Become a Trustee

We are currently looking for new trustees to join our Board and help guide the future of Family Voice Peterborough.

As a trustee, you will play a vital role in ensuring the organisation is well-run, sustainable, and continues to deliver meaningful impact for families. You will work alongside other trustees and parent carers to provide strategic oversight, support decision-making, and champion the voice of our community.

Why Become a Trustee?

Being a trustee is a rewarding opportunity to:

  • Make a lasting difference to local families
  • Use your skills and experience to influence services and systems
  • Develop leadership and governance experience
  • Contribute to a respected, parent-led organisation with strong local credibility
  • Be part of shaping long-term, positive change

We welcome applications from both Parent Carers and Professionals. Lived experience is highly valued, as is expertise in areas such as finance, communications, leadership, or strategic development.

Time commitments are manageable and flexible, and support is provided to help you feel confident in the role.

To express your interest, please email secretary@familyvoice.org and request a trustee application pack.
