Become a Volunteer Parent or Carer Supporter

Please complete the form below to sign up as a Volunteer Parent or Carer Supporter for Mast Cell Action.
As a Parent or Carer Supporter, you will provide one-to-one support to other parents and carers of children and young people with MCAS or suspected MCAS, giving around 1 hour a week of your time with breaks when you need them.

You will receive training and supervision and will then offer emotional support to those accessing the service, sharing your own knowledge and experience.

This will be a dedicated support service for the most vulnerable members of our community. This is an exciting opportunity to ‘give back’ and to be able to make a difference.

The information we are collecting in this form will enable us to match supporters with service-users with similar experiences.

Please note that we are currently only able to recruit Parent or Carer Supporters from the UK.
