Details of recent, current and forthcoming campaigns running for Home-Start across the UK.

Real Parents Volunteer Recruitment Campaign

We don't need super nannies, we need real people with real parenting experience to make a real difference to families struggling to cope.
Our current Real Parents campaign is asking you to become a home-visiting volunteer with Home-Start, the UK's leading family support charity, and give just a couple of hours a week.
Families need your help for lots of reasons - perhaps because of post-natal depression, disability, multiple births or because they're young and inexperienced.
With your help parents can gain the confidence to manage on their own and give their children the best possible start

Plenty of support
The campaign has received support from a number of well known parents including Zoë Tyler and Denise Lewis as well as child expert Dr. Miriam Stoppard and many more.

How Home-Start can help

Get Involved - others have
Home-Start previously ran a Real Parents campaign in 2006, targeting Norfolk and Birmingham. The response was a huge, with 1,400 people coming forward to be home-visiting volunteers. Many are now supporting families in their local communities.

But Home-Start supports almost 34,000 families every year, and we are asking for more people to get involved. You don't need to be a super nanny to help parents with young children. If you've got through the early days, why not volunteer your experience to help someone else?

"We're Asking"

Home-Start, launched its "We're Asking" trustee recruitment campaign during National Volunteers Week 2006. The campaign is still running across the UK and aims to recruit more than 500 volunteers with business experience and specialist skills, to help manage Home-Start's 336 local schemes.

The charity is running the campaign to help fill a trustee shortfall across the entire country after research showed that 11 million people said they would volunteer...... if only they were asked.
