Being a Volunteer is not just about giving 💛 Thankyou to this valued volunteer for sharing what she gets for herself from her volunteer role

"I absolutely love volunteering and giving those small connections with others. Just something as simple as a knowing nod that I have been in a similar situation and I can give a deep level of empathy. I found myself out of work recently and volunteering gave me something to focus on and also some social aspect to my week too. Thank you Light for the opportunity. And if you are thinking of giving volunteering then I would say go for it!"

A past Light Service User who has since become a valued Volunteer, has this to say about her journey 💛

"From the support I received I knew that this was what I wanted to continue doing. I wanted to be a part of a fantastic team.
I now volunteer at groups and have looked at a career in peer support so I can give back and hopefully help turn at least one person's life into something they can be proud of and help them through a difficult time."

Light was built from the ground up by a dedicated team of volunteers, and some of those same volunteers still selflessly dedicate their time to our cause today, serving on our Board of Trustees. We are so grateful for all that you have given and all that you continue to give to Light💛

Many people who choose to volunteer with Light are past Service Users. One of our valued volunteers says "When I was fighting one of my hardest mental battles, Light was the place and the people I never knew I needed...It gives me a sense of pride and purpose and I feel like it's my way of giving something back to someone who needs it"

Here at Light, we know that the thought of coming to our peer support groups can be daunting.

All our peer support groups offer a safe, non -judgmental relaxing space to share should you wish, there is no pressure to open up or share your experiences.

We know that sometimes getting out and being around other adults / parents is enough for some to feel less alone.

Our groups are running this week across Sheffield, Rotherham & Doncaster, all we ask is that you are registered before attending.

Today is National Sunscreen Day 😎

Babies under 6 months cannot wear sunscreen. Protect them by putting on lightweight clothing that covers their skin, put on a hat, and keep them in the shade. They should be kept entirely out of direct sunlight.

Babies over 6 months can wear sunscreen and the NHS recommends an SPF of at least 30. Whichever brand you use, it's best to make sure that it protects from both UVA and UVB rays.
Use plenty of it and re-apply every 1-2 hours and after swimming. This goes for you, too!

Why not come along for some great peer support and to meet other mums who may be struggling and our lovely peer support workers who are on hand to offer emotional support as needed.

All we ask is that you are registered with us beforehand.
