Referral Update - July 2026
Unfortunately, due to staff capacity we will be closed to referrals for volunteer support for the summer holidays (20th July to 6th Sept). If we receive any referrals within this time we will delete the referral as we are unable to hold personal information for families we are not working with, in line with GDPR.
We will open for volunteer support referrals again on 7th September.
Please note that we remain open to referrals for our Reducing Parental conflict and Own my Life programmes across all of Devon. Digital volunteer support will remain open for families living in North Devon only.
Thank you for your support and understanding.
