Additional Information
Home-Start provides a unique service for families - recruiting and training volunteers to support parents with young children at home. Home-Start volunteers visit families at home each week, supporting parents in situations as diverse as isolation, bereavement, multiple births, illness, disability or who are just finding parenting a struggle. They provide non-judgemental, practical and emotional support and help build the familiy's confidence and ability to cope. At Home-Start we support any parent with young children who asks for our help and our supported families, like our volunteers, come from all walks of life.
Parents' Walking Group - Families meet with other Families, Volunteers and Staff once a week for social support, exercise and play opportunities for the children.
