Any ideas for charity work that a new mum can do (UK)?

Question

A friend of mine has a 3 month old baby and is on maternity leave for another 9 months.

She would like to spend some of her maternity leave giving back something to the community, so would like to do some charity work. However, she will have the baby with her so it would have to be something that she can do with the baby.

She has already had a think through some options and her thoughts are:

- She would like to work with people rather than something 'remote' such as editing a newsletter

- Driving duties would probably be difficult because she would have to get the baby in and out of the car all the time

- She's already contacted the NCT and is doing a few things for them.

She lives in London, UK.

Any ideas much appreciated!

Answer 1

charity shops

Answer 2

If she approaches her local council they should be able to give her names and number of different organisation in her area and then she can discuss, directly with the group, what she wants to do and what her limitations are.

There will be lots of groups thankful for her help - baby on tow or not.
