Home-Start Cambridgeshire is a voluntary organisation offering support to families, who have at least one child under five, when family life becomes difficult. By supporting families to become resilient and better cope with the challenges they face we can truly change life outcomes for children.

Story

The mission of Home-Start Cambridgeshire is to give every child in Cambridgeshire the best possible start in life.

Across our county, families with pre-school age children (0-4) are facing challenges such as mental health issues, isolation, poverty, disability, bereavement, domestic abuse, multiple births, traumatic births - the list goes on. Many families have multiple, complex needs. Thresholds for statutory services and support are ever increasing and so we are there for families, often when no-one else is.

Our non-judgemental, confidential suite of support options includes weekly volunteer led home-visiting, group family work, remote support & a specialist parent-child relationship therapy provision. We invest time in truly understanding the circumstances of each family so that we can tailor a support plan to deliver impactful outcomes. We empower parents with the confidence, skills and knowledge to raise their children to flourish whilst balancing the management of their own health & wellbeing needs.

Can you help us to reach the families that need our support? Any donation or sponsorship of the amazing runners, who have chosen to support our charity, will make a difference to children and families in our county.
