For National Volunteer Week, we’re shining a light on the incredible volunteers who help keep the Kiind Families Facebook Network a safe and welcoming space.

Behind every post, comment, and connection is a team of dedicated volunteers who not only give their time but also share lived experience as parents and carers raising children with disability themselves.

Their understanding and commitment help ensure every family that joins feels heard and supported.

To our volunteers: thank you for the time you give, and the supportive space you help create every single day 💜
