A child’s earliest years are the most important. Home-Start UK makes sure they count. With a stable, loving and nurturing environment, a child can develop the vital foundations they need to realise their full potential.

Four-year-old Daisy’s mum was struggling with anxiety and depression she was finding it difficult to cope. When Home-Start volunteer, Jasmine, visited the family, she helped establish routines, brought with her some fun games and activities and even went with them to the library.

Daisy is now a confident and curious little girl who is constantly asking questions. Her mum is amazed at how confident and independent she has become over such a short time.

You can help to ensure the future generations of children get the best start in life today.
