Home-Start Horizons is a local community network of trained volunteers and expert support. We help families with children under five with practical and confidential support.
Being a parent can be lonely, frustrating and overwhelming. Home-Start Horizons is there for families when they need it the most, because childhood can't wait.
The earliest years make a big difference. Home-Start Horizons helps to make those years count, so no child's future is limited.
Welcome to Home-Start Horizons
A child’s earliest years make the biggest impact on their future. Home-Start makes sure those years count so that no child’s future is limited. We want to see a society inwhich every parent and carer has the support they need to give their children the best possible start in life.
We support families who have a least one child under five who may be dealing with issues such as:
- Social isolation
- Domestic abuse
- Lone parenting
- Poverty
- Illness and disability
- Post-natal illness
- Coping with several children under the age of 5
Please take a moment to browse through the pages of this website to find out more about our service, how to become a home-visiting volunteer or how you could offer your time by becoming a trustee of the charity.
