Description

Home Start offers practical and emotional support to parents with young children, in the family home. Home-Start carefully recruits and trains parent volunteers who know how hard it can be to bring up a family. After an initial visit from a member of the staff team, if the family wish to go ahead with support we will seek to find a suitable volunteer who can offer weekly (2-3 hour) visits to the family. Volunteers can offer practical support with young children, help with going out to appointments, toddler groups etc. and over time volunteers and parents can develop trusting relationships which lead to powerful change within the family.  Our focus is on Early Intervention and Prevention, supporting families at an early stage to ensure the support we offer has the best possible outcomes for children.
