Objectives

Here at Home-Start Clackmannanshire, we offer a unique service providing practical and emotional support to families with young children (under 12) living across Clackmannanshire. Free of judgement, we offer compassionate, individual, and confidential support to young families.
 

We offer support to families who are struggling to get through the day due to their daily challenges. While every family’s challenges are unique, their struggles do tend to have similar origins: 

  • Mental Health Problems
  • Disability
  • Domestic Abuse
  • Parenting Challenges
  • Loneliness

Activities

We recognise that being a parent, wherever you live and whatever your circumstances, isn’t easy. To help give children the best possible start in life, Home-Start Clackmannanshire supports parents as they:

  • Grow in confidence
  • Overcome obstacles
  • Strengthen their relationship with their children
  • Develop skills to better cope with daily challenges
  • Widen their links with the local community
  • Form new friendships

Home-Start Clackmannanshire has a 35-year history of helping families across our local communities. Our work is driven by a deep commitment to supporting parents – in their homes and in local communities – in the critical early years of childhood, and beyond.  We are a voluntary organisation committed to promoting the welfare of families with at least one child under twelve years of age. The Staff Team and Volunteers offer regular emotional support, friendship, and practical help to local families under stress. Our Staff and Volunteers work within the family home where they help prevent family crises and breakdowns. We currently offer the following services:­

  • Home-Visiting Family Support 
  • Family Support Groups
  • Parent/Carer support (groups)
  • Social activities/supported family outtings
