## Description

NNC \(North Northamptonshire Council\) invites quotations for a Provider to deliver a two-year structured program or initiative that provides training, education, and support to individuals interested in volunteering for various Family Hub Projects and in the broader community\. NNC recognises that robust volunteer support is essential for fostering a positive and productive volunteer experience\. Public services benefit significantly from what volunteers, lived experience peer supporters and paid peer supporters can add\. The Family Hubs Volunteer Academy will create a structured and supportive environment for individuals to develop skills, gain knowledge, and contribute meaningfully to their communities through volunteering\. The Family Hubs Volunteer Academy will also support and empower people who have experienced PNMH \(Perinatal Mental Health\) and PIR \(Parent-Infant Relationship\) difficulties to become peer supporters\. We know this cohort has a significant challenge to take up and sustain peer support roles without adequate support and supervision\. In addition, volunteers will be given opportunities to engage with professionals in various fields and roles to try different types of volunteer work and better understand their interests, likes, and dislikes\. The ability to volunteer across the Family Hubs Network will help people determine whether they would like to pursue further employment in health and social care services\.
