Working alongside Families

 

Being a parent has never been easy.  It can be lonely, frustrating, heart-breaking and overwhelming.

​

Our dedicated Home-start Volunteers and Family Support Workers support families with one-to-one support. Before COVID this was done via a home visit. Now, we support families over the telephone, and other means, providing a wide range of targeted support for parents and their children.

​

Life-changing events can happen to anyone.  All parents struggle at one time or another.  That is why Home-Start is ready to support families through their toughest times, providing friendly befriending, giving parents emotional and practical support.

​

Home-Start works with families experiencing a number of challenges including:

​

·         Children's health, well-being and development

·         Isolation

·         Home Environment

·         Financial worries

​​

Just two hours a week can make a big difference to a parent and their children.

​

We work with families to build on their strengths and give them the support they tell us they need.

​

All our services are based around the principle that Volunteers and Staff offer no judgement, just compassionate, confidential help and support.

 

Home-Start support is completely free, you do not have to pay for any of our support.
