Leeds Half Marathon · 24 May 2019

Home-Start Leeds is a voluntary home visiting family support service that supports parents who have at least one child under the age of 7 years and/or expecting a baby. At Home-Start Leeds we support some of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged families struggling with complex and often multiple needs such as mental health, domestic abuse, learning difficulties, and substance misuse. We offer a unique service recruiting and training volunteers from all backgrounds who visit families in their own homes on a weekly basis for 3 -4 hours to offer emotional and practical support tailored to meet each family's individual needs. Volunteers work restoratively 'with' parent/s, using a strengths based approach, helping build confidence, resilience and coping skills to improve their well-being and family life. At Home-Start Leeds we believe that when parents are supported they grow in confidence, strengthen their relationships with their children and widen their links with the local community helping to build better lives for their children and themselves.

Story

I ran the Leeds Half Marathon in May - very slowly 2.25  but didn’t stop!

I did it in aid of Home-Start Leeds - who support  families with young children.  These are families that - for whatever reason - are struggling to cope and need a little help.  Volunteers are trained and spend time supporting the families get to there they want to be.
