...but our work is still the same

What's happening?
Home-Start is updating its corporate identity.

Why are we changing our look?:
We wanted to build a strong and consistent identity for the organisation using our name and a new strapline, logo, typeface, colour, images and style. Our new image has been designed to reflect our friendly, inclusive, family centred approach and will be suitable to use for many years.

What you will see:

• New logo
• New photography style, showing the positive effects of Home-Start support
• New fonts
• New look for our publications and website

Home-Start's crucial work as the leading family support charity in the UK has not changed.
Home-Start provides a unique service for families - recruiting and training volunteers to support parents with young children at home.

Across the UK many thousands of Home-Start volunteers visit families at home each week, supporting parents in situations as diverse as isolation, bereavement, multiple births, illness, disability or who are just finding parenting a struggle. They provide non-judgemental practical and emotional support and help build the family's confidence and ability to cope.

Home-Start runs more services and has more volunteers supporting more families than any other family support charity in the UK.

Thank you for your patience while Home-Start makes this change over to the new look in the most efficient and cost-effective way possible.
