Help support Home-Start Guildford
We’re there for parents when they need us the most, because childhood can’t wait.
Home-Start Guildford is an independent charity supporting families with at least one child under the age of 5, living in Guildford Borough. We are part of Home-Start UK, one of the UK’s leading family support charities, benefitting from their policy framework and quality assurance, but not funding.
Being a parent, whatever your situation, can be very difficult at times, especially when children are young. Many parents feel exhausted and overwhelmed by the stresses of family life, particularly if they have little support from family and friends, just when they need it most. Home-Start Guildford supports parents who have at least one child under 5 years and who are dealing with issues such as:
- Isolation
- Mental Health
- Sickness
- Disability
- Domestic Abuse
- Multiple Births
- Difficult Relationships
A carefully selected volunteer who has parenting experience will regularly visit a family in their own home, offering emotional and practical support through difficult times. This parent to parent support is a simple yet effective way of giving hope and enabling families to get back on track.
You may like to look at the Home-Start UK website for more information about our history, values, impact and work nationwide.
