Home-Visiting Support

Family pressures can sometimes be difficult to manage without emotional and practical support around you.

Home-Start volunteers understand how hard it can be to be a parent. They work alongside parents  in their own homes, helping them to cope with the stresses and strains of life. They make sure parents have the skills, confidence and strength they need to nurture their children.

What our volunteers can support with

  • feeling isolated, maybe with no family nearby and struggling to make friends
  • suffering with post-natal depression
  • having a hard time coping with child’s illness or disability
  • being affected by the death of a family member
  • struggling with the emotional and practical demands of twins, triplets or several children under 5
  • finding it hard to cope with relationship difficulties
  • feeling exhausted or depressed
  • coping with illness or disability
