Volunteer to help us

The Muswell Hill Child Contact Centre is always interested in hearing from people who feel they can spare the time to volunteer and support children and parents who come along to sessions.  To enquire about volunteering please email the coordinator contact.centre@mhmc.org.uk , or send a note to

Child Contact Centre volunteers need to be:

  • discreet
  • impartial
  • caring
  • enthusiastic
  • tolerant
  • reliable
  • cheerful but not artificial
  • assertive but not dominant

in addition, able to:

  • show sensitivity and reassurance to children and adults who may be nervous, worried or upset
  • build relationships while remaining impartial
  • deal with difficult situations when they arise

Volunteers must be prepared to work as part of a team where people exchange information and support one another.  Volunteers must also be willing to attend training sessions, which are arranged about five times a year.

Disclosure and Baring checks, (formally called CRB checks), are made for all volunteers.
