A Home-Start volunteer plays a crucial role in supporting families with children, during their most challenging times.
Responsibilities include:

Emotional and Practical Support: Volunteers visit families in their homes, providing listening ears, advice, and assistance with navigating services.

Building Relationships: They help families build resilience and confidence, often by being a consistent, non-judgmental presence.

Training and Support: Volunteers undergo a preparation course and receive regular training updates on topics like safeguarding.

Commitment: The role requires a high level of commitment, typically involving 2-3 hours of volunteering each week.

Volunteering with Home-Start not only helps families but also offers personal growth and new friendships.
