Home-Start offers free support, friendship and practical help to families with at least one child under seven.

One in four children under five in the UK has a difficult start in life because their families are under pressure.

Every child deserves the best possible start

• to be loved
• to play
• to learn
• to grow in confidence

When this happens in a happy, secure family, a child’s health, schooling and life prospects all improve.

Home-Start believes that parents play the key role in ensuring that children have a happy and secure childhood, but even the most dedicated parents can face challenges that prevent them from doing all they want to for their children.
