Home-Start HOST support families with young children across Oldham, Tameside, Stockport & Bolton. Our trained volunteers and staff offer peer befriending support, and support with many practical aspects of raising a family as well. Being a parent can be hard, and additional challenges like bereavement, isolation, health issues or financial difficulty can make it even more challenging. A little support at the right time makes a huge difference to parents and crucially helps them give their children the start in life they deserve.
