What We Do
Being a parent has never been easy. It can be lonely, frustrating, heartbreaking and overwhelming. All parents struggle at one time or another. For some, the challenges can be greater. You are not alone.
Parents can face many pressures bringing up their children, pressures such as:
- illnesses or disabilities
- mental health issues
- multiple births
- loneliness and isolation
- family/relationship breakdown
- bereavement
- financial hardship
can all make a difficult time even harder

The support Home-Start volunteers give is non-judgemental, compassionate and confidential. We work with you to build on your strengths and give you the support that you tell us that you need.
We help people to regain the confidence to be the parents they want to be, we aim to support people as they grow, strengthen their relationships with their children and widen their links with their community.
