We work with parents to build on their strengths and give them the support that they tell us they need. We offer no judgement – just compassionate, confidential help and expert support. This peer-to-peer support is key to the difference Home-Start makes and often our volunteers have lived experience of the challenges their families are facing themselves.

- Build a culture of inclusion, strengthen diversity and representation across our teams, ensure accessibility and equity throughout our work, and grow our voice for equity, equality and anti-racism.
- Designing and driving forward major programmes and initiatives to deliver our strategic ambitions for growth, voice, inclusion and impact.
- Deliver evidence-led and policy-informed portfolio of practice development and quality improvement, which is responsive to the needs of local Home-Starts and the children, families and communities they are supporting.
- Support and enable accessible, inclusive, high quality and rewarding volunteering experiences across the network, to grow volunteering numbers as part of wider supporter engagement.
- Establish a high-quality, federation-wide learning and development offer, embedding a culture where individuals and organisations can learn and grow.
- Better understand and demonstrate our impact for children and families, and ensure our programme of network and practice development is informed by evidence, data and insights.
