Family pressures can sometimes be difficult to manage without emotional support and guidance around you. Many people can feel confused by the range of information available or struggle to know who to contact for support.

Home-Start provides direct support through our local Home-Start network – families are introduced and matched to an available volunteer. Home-Start’s volunteers work alongside families just like yours to give compassionate and confidential support. The support Home-Start volunteers give is not judgemental, it’s just compassionate, confidential and as an individual, as you are.

Home-Start volunteers understand how hard it can be to be a parent. They work alongside parents, in their own homes, to help them cope with the stresses and strains of life and make sure they have the skills, confidence and strength they need to nurture their children.
