OUR PROJECTS

Home Visiting- For parents with children 0-5 years. A volunteer is matched to you and your identified needs, they will provide support to you emotionally each week for a couple of hours, helping you build your confidence, accompany you to groups or appointments and offer practical support for you with your baby or children in your own home.

Perinatal Support - From 30+ weeks pregnant a volunteer is matched to you, providing emotional support and guidance for 2-3 hours each week, they will help you prepare practically and emotionally for your baby's arrival, empowering you to build your confidence, as you become a new mum.

School Readiness- Parents with children 3-5 years will receive a weekly home visit to engage in our 8-week school readiness programme. In a confidential, encouraging way parents and children will be supported together to prepare for their school experience. The programme is delivered in a fun, informative and thoughtful manner.

Telephone support -We can provide weekly telephone support calls to parents that feel this could work best for you. The same volunteer will phone each week to offer you emotional support and guidance.

We aim to provide families with a service that suits their needs, a one to one home visit each week, a group for new parents seeking support and friendship or a child and parent requiring some additional work on school readiness. Whatever your needs Home-Start is here for you.
