Home-Start Volunteer Home Visiting program is an award winning service which trains local volunteers and introduces them to parents with babies and small children who are struggling and need some practical and emotional support. The families may be dealing with mental illness, physical illness, disabilities, isolation and loneliness, trauma, or have left domestic violence and have no family or friends close by to give them a helping hand.
Home-Start volunteers are matched with a family, who they home visit every week and the relationship is supported by the professional Family Worker/Coordinator.
Home-Start Volunteer Home Visiting program receives no funding from Government, and is very keen to develop new corporate partnerships.
Home-Start has 29 years’ experience in home visiting with vulnerable and disadvantaged families.
