Many parents need help, friendship, advice or support during those early years when children are young. There is no rulebook for raising a family and sometimes it can seem overwhelming, particulary if your family is going through a difficult time.
As parents 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 have been hit hard by the death of a loved one
- You may be really struggling whit emotional and physical demands of having twins or triplets- perhaps born into an allready large family.
Help is at hand. We support any family who needs us, as long as they have at least one child under six years.
But what do we mean by support? If you ask for Home Start's help you can be sure of total confidentiality. The volunteers have an enhanced criminal reckords check. They are adults with experience form having children them selves or taking care of children.
After asking for our support you will meet one of our lokal organisers who will carefully match you with one of our volunteers. They will visit you once a week and give you both emotional and practical support.
