As the mum of 5 year old twins, I know how important it is to get the right help from the very start. I had to learn how to be a parent to two whilst dealing with post-traumatic stress, anxiety and the overwhelming fear of failure. This is why I am really passionate about the work that Home-Start does.

At Home-Start, our core work is with families with young children. Our trained volunteers visit the family once a week, supporting them in a variety of emotional and practical ways. We support families who are facing issues such as anxiety, post-natal depression, ill health, multiple births, financial difficulties, isolation or disabilities. We help them to grow in confidence, strengthen their relationships with their children and forge links with the local community. 

We are walking to raise funds so we can continue to do this really important work. Can you help us to be there for families when they need us most?
