We’re there for parents when they need us the most.

The earliest years make the biggest difference. Home-Start makes sure those years count, so that no child's future is limited.

We support around 80 families with young children a year through a weekly home visiting service and our Mums in Mind postnatal groups.  And it all starts with people just like you. 

£7 could help a child’s parents get their first visit from the volunteer who could change their lives

£10 pays for craft supplies and lunch for a mum attending a Mums in Mind Group session to help her through postnatal depression, anxiety or loneliness

£22 could help us support a child so they don’t miss out on early speech and language skills

£42 could help give five volunteers everything they need to ensure the children they work with are ready to start school confident and happy

“The support and help I have received from Home-Start has been an absolute lifeline to me, myself and the twins.  Thank you so much” 
“With the help of a volunteer I would not have recovered from my stroke half as quickly.  It also improved my mental state”

“I think my baby was happier because I became happier”

““Now I have new friends and through the group I have built my self esteem.  It will now help me sustain those other friendships outside of it”

“The group showed me that lots of people have mental health issues but are brilliant mums too and it doesn’t impact on your ability as a mum.  It doesn’t make you a bad mum”

Home-Start depends heavily on donations to fund our work with parents and children.  Everyone needs help at some time in their life...so please, help us to make a difference to a child's life today.
