Family Support
HOME-START
|
Home-Start is a voluntary organisation offering support, friendship and practical help to families at home with children under 5. Home-Start recruits, supports and prepares volunteers who are parents, grandparents or have parenting experience to visit families who are under pressure.
Home-Start supports families with twins, multiple births or several pre-school children, lonely or isolated parents, families where there is ill health or special needs, mums who have postnatal depression, lone parents and families who are new to the area. Indeed any family, with at least one child under 5, who is under pressure, can ask Home-Start for help. The Health Visitor often puts families in touch with Home-Start.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer for Home-Start or wish to refer yourself or a family you know for Home-Start support please contact your local scheme.
