Home-Start Leeds Christmas Appeal 2025

Supporting us to support Dad's during the Perinatal Period - Pre-birth to a Childs second birthday. The Prenatal Period can also be stressful for Dad - so our service Dad Matters can support when Dad is anxious and worried.

We support parents from Pre-Birth to a child's 11th year across a range of specialist services. Our services support some of the most vulnerable/disadvantaged families struggling with complex and multiple needs such as mental health, domestic abuse, learning difficulties, and substance misuse.
