About us
Who we are
We support famiies, with at least one child under 5, emotionally and practically so that parents can give their the children the best start in life. Our Home Visiting parent volunteers provide peer support to parents undergoing additional stresses for a variety of reasons. Our volunteers visit weekly to improve parental strengths and increase confidence by offering friendship, listening and empathising. Volunteers are supported and trained by Coordinators. All expenses are paid.
Our Trustees are also volunteers, who are responsible for the governance of the charity. They ensure that we maintain the values & ethos of Home-Start; apply for funding; put business and strategic plans inplace.
