Services Provided

Home Start is a voluntary organisation that offers free and confidential support to families. We help to increase the confidence and independence of families by:

• Visiting families in their own homes to offer support, friendship and practical assistance
• Reassuring parents that their childcare problems are not unusual or unique
• Encouraging parents' strengths and emotional well-being for the ultimate benefit of their children
• Trying to get the fun back into family life.

Our service provides volunteers to support to families in their own homes, Home-Start volunteers will visit regularly for as long as support is needed.

Home-Start is a referral service and anyone can refer a family to Home-Start as long as they have discussed the referral with the family first. Families can also refer themselves via telephone or at the office. The service is open to anyone who looks after a child under five years of age.

Many parents need help, friendship, advice or support during those early years when children are young. Sometimes raising a family can seem overwhelming, particularly if your family is going through difficult times. As a parent you might ask for Home-Start's help for all sorts of reasons:

• You may be feeling isolated in your community, have no family nearby and be struggling to make friends.
• You may be finding it hard to cope because of your own or your child's illness.
• You may be really struggling with emotional and physical demands of having twins or triplets
