Home-Start is the UK's leading family support charity

Home-Start supports families with at least one child under five years old Through a network of nearly 16,000 trained parent volunteers we support thousands of parents who are struggling to cope. Our families need support for many reasons including post-natal illness, disability, bereavement, the illness of a parent or child, or social isolation. Parents supporting other parents: it's a simple idea that really works.

At the heart of our charity is the belief that parents have the key role in creating a secure and happy environment for their children. It's just that sometimes they need a bit of help. That's where Home-Start comes in. Find out more about what we do.
