What is Home-Start?

Being a parent, wherever you live, whatever your circumstances, isn’t always easy. Add illness or financial worries and, without the support of family and friends, the stress can seem overwhelming.

 

Home-Start is a national charity that offers free support, friendship and practical help to families with at least one child under five. Families are visited regularly in their homes by volunteers who have had experience of parenting and know how hard it can be.
