Parents 1st based in the Thurrock area are the first to sign up to replicate the Doula Project. Further details on Parents 1st can be found below or you can visit their website at www.parents1st.org.uk
Parents 1st enables the ‘Community Parent’ concept to flourish by promoting sustainable and effective peer support programmes in less advantaged communities. Programmes focus on promoting early parenting skills, health and wellbeing; community involvement and easier access to information and services. Community ownership and involvement are at the heart of their work. Organisations they work with typically deliver children’s centre, extended schools, or child health promotion services.
Parents 1st also promotes the excellent Goodwin Volunteer Programme, working in partnership to facilitate effective replication and good practice.
