Bringing up a young family can be hard, and sometimes you need an extra bit of support. What we can do is provide that support through one of our volunteers. Our volunteers have been recruited and trained by us and are there to offer you friendly, informal and confidential support.

Home-Start works to support families with young children who are facing difficulties. We recognise the ongoing challenges of raising our children in the safest and most nurturing of environments whilst coping with the stresses of ill health, isolation, disrupted relationships, poor & insecure housing, financial insecurity, trauma, abuse and loss. Sometimes, we also just need someone to talk to, to be there to hear us.
