Home-Start offers support, friendship and practical help to parents with young children in the local community.
We recruit volunteers, who are usually parents themselves, to visit families with at least one child under five, at home and offer them informal, friendly and confidential support. Four full days training is given over a period of four weeks.
Home-Start volunteers visit families in their own homes for a couple of hours a week to offer support, friendship and practical help at a time when it is most needed where there is at least one child under five. The commitment to the family is usually over a period of 6 to 9 months.
