Home-Start UK is committed to equality, inclusion and creating better lives for all families, and as part of that commitment we have now released our equity, equality, diversity and inclusion action plan.

For 50 years, we’ve sought to tackle inequality faced by families. However, as understanding of discrimination, anti-racism, accessibility and diversity has developed, we acknowledge that we have much to do to be fully diverse and inclusive. Home-Start UK is wholeheartedly committed to ensuring equity, equality, diversity and inclusion (EEDI) is central to our work and are open and willing to work hard to improve.

In June 2023 Home-Start UK released its equity, equality, diversity and inclusion action plan.

As part of our federation-wide Strategic Framework, our Inclusion Commitment calls for us to:

Address inequalities in all we do – in terms of access to early years’ and family support, by reviewing our reach, enhancing our own diversity, ensuring inclusive ways of working, and using our influence to effect change.

Our vision is for Home-Start to be a charity where every family, every volunteer, every member of staff and every supporter, funder and partner feels welcomed and valued as part of our movement.
