Overview of Work/Interest:

Home-Start is a voluntary organisation in which volunteers offer regular support, friendship and practical help to young families under stress in their own homes - so helping to prevent family crisis and breakdown.

Home-Start is available for any family with at least one child under 5 years of age.

Families may only be referred to Home-Start with their consent. The main referrers are Health Visitors and Social Workers, but self-referrals and referrals from any other source are welcomed and are dealt with in strictest confidence.

Home-Start is actively trying to encourage fathers to avail of this support.
