There’s no rule book for raising a family and sometimes it can seem overwhelming.

We can offer friendship and support when parents are struggling to cope with what life is throwing at them. We don’t put time limits on support and we will regularly review things with you to ensure that we are working towards your goals and that our support is appropriate and impactful. 

If you need support, you can refer yourself by clicking the “Get Support” button. You can also call or email us to discuss your needs and whether we might be able to help. Your information is always treated with the strictest confidence.

All of our services are provided to you for free and are supported by our fundraising efforts and the generosity of donors and volunteers. 

Please note, we do not routinely provide furniture, clothing or other items nor do we take sole care of children. Our aim is to work with you to support your family, we cannot directly provide resources or childcare. 

I have been so grateful for the help and support I received from volunteers. Life has been so difficult and without their support, kindness and caring I would never have managed to get through these difficult times.

I wish there were more words to express how thankful I am for everything we have received from Home-Start Volunteers. I just want to say thank you, thank you, thank you to each and every one of you. I am beyond grateful for you all.

When you refer for our support, we will get in touch to discuss your circumstances and needs.

We want you to feel empowered from the beginning. We will discuss what we can provide with you and if we are agreed that our support is relevant, a member of our team will visit you to carry out an initial assessment.

That is your chance to find out more about the services we provide, express what you might be interested in or to ask any questions you have about us. From there, you will have a named contact who can answer any questions and who will keep you updated about when your support will start.
