Volunteer with us

CalmFamily is a grassroots organisation

We value the unique skills and passions our supporters offer to help us  collaborate to achieve our vision.

Our vision

To create a world founded on equality, in which everyone understands and meets their own needs, and collaborates to solve problems.

Beginning by

Promoting calmer relationships, starting with parents and children. So the future generation become calm communicators and collaborators.

We need you

We want to change the world, but this takes a lot of work.  We can’t do it alone.

 

What does volunteering with CalmFamily look like?

Well, that rather depends. What are your skills? What are you passionate about? Let us know, or suggest a way that you might be able to help. Sometimes we don’t know what we need, but when someone turns up with a skill and a desire to help, it turns out they are what we were looking for all along!

Here are a few ways you might be able to help:
Do you take a great photo?

We are always on the lookout for great images that represent family life in its diverse richness! Perhaps you can help by running a photo shoot, providing some images or photographing and event we are attending to improve our stock of images

Are you a researcher in a related field?​​

We try to keep up to date with the leading research in psychology and development and we are always keen to hear from those leading the way.

Perhaps you could offer us the chance to hear you speak? Read your papers? Review your book? You could even run a CPD session for our consultants.

Are your skills in drawing or design?

We are continuously creating new handouts, webpages and leaflets. We often have a list of images or diagrams we’d love to create.

Can you draw? Could you help with image creation?

Do you have an eye for design? Can you help us create handout or leaflet templates?

Can you help us to improve our accessibility?

Could you help us to create inclusive and invaluable image descriptions for some of the images we use? This would help those who use screen readers better access our content,​

Can you offer PR or media support?

Can you help us be heard?

We want to be sharing our work, explaining the psychology that underlies human needs, and helping people to find ways to meet their needs and achieve balance in their life.

If you have the skills and contacts to put us in touch with influential media outlets, or social media accounts that share our values then you could be a great help.

Can you edit or subtitle videos?

Video editing is skilled work and we could always benefit from help! We would love to make some of our videos more accessible by offering subtitles, or by creating transcripts or training sessions. Perhaps you could help?
