About Home-Start North West Hampshire
Home-Start is a charity that helps families where there is a child under five living in the household. We support families who are struggling to cope, for a multitude of reasons such as physical and mental illness, bereavement, domestic violence and multi-births.
We provide one-to-one support for parents by recruiting and training volunteers who offer support in the family home for a couple of hours every week. Each family is given a tailor made package offering them a mixture of practical help, emotional support and guidance plus advice about parenting issues.
The support is usually undertaken in the safety of their own homes but also through our groups. Volunteers are committed and will continue visiting the family until the youngest child turns five or starts school, or until the parents feel they can stand on their own two feet.
Parents and volunteers often develop a deeply trusting relationship which can lead to powerful change within the family and really do make a difference to local families li
