Story
Home-Start Camden and Islington supports local families who are doing everything they can to give their children a good start in life whilst facing unimaginable situations such as fleeing domestic abuse, coping with long term or terminal illness, living in woefully inappropriate accommodation, and coping with abject poverty.
Every Home-Start parent knows that we will never judge them, never rush them, and never disregard their expertise as parents. The service that each family receives from us is as unique as they are because we find a parent's strengths and help them to grow the parenting skills they already have.
Home is where we start from, and that's what makes what we do so unique. Our volunteers are right in the heart of the home, transforming lives from within. Because of this, not only can our volunteers spot things no other service can, but they can tackle it alongside the family.
