Volunteer– Make a difference!
Volunteering is an important part of Flying Start – by harnessing the energy and local knowledge of volunteers in making a real difference to the lives of Luton’s families.
This is achieved by creating volunteering opportunities for communities to play an active role to support positive outcomes for families built on national and international evidence of the very early years of life, starting from pregnancy.

Volunteer Testimonies
‘As a male service user, I have seen the value of being involved in a service that be perceived as only a service for women. My input has shifted the balance to that of inclusivity. Working as a volunteer at the dad’s group sessions on a Saturday is where I come into my own. I value the importance of “it takes a village to raise a child” learning all the time has made me a better grandfather than when I was a father.’ – Selwyn
‘Thanks to being a part of Flying Start, I have the opportunity to help and share my experience with other parents. Training with Flying Start has enabled me to engage with the families and share key health messages, signposting families to different services that they can access support from along with being made to feel as part of a team. ‘ – Anna
