Homestart provides one-to-one and other support for parents. Typically, our trained volunteers visit the family's home for a couple of hours every week. They adapt their support to the needs of the parents and children. Volunteers are exceedingly committed and maintain the visits as mentioned earlier until the youngest child turns five or starts school, or until the parents feel they can stand on their own two feet.
Parents and volunteers often develop a deeply trusting relationship which can lead to powerful change within the family. Our support for the family is free of charge and also highly confidential. Volunteers encourage confidence and independence and help parents build their networks of friends and other support.
