Home-Start Liverpool exists to safeguard, protect and preserve the good health, both mental and physical, of children and parents; prevent cruelty to, or maltreatment of, children; and to promote the education of the public in better standards of child care within the area.
Home-Start Liverpool is a voluntary organisation which offers the support of a trained parent volunteer to another parent who is facing difficulty and has at least one child under the age of 5 in the family.
The friendship, practical and emotional support provided by the volunteer in the family’s own home enables the parents to cope with the pressures they are facing and reduces the potential for family crisis and breakdown.
Volunteers are there to support parents and their children in a way that the family finds most useful which may differ from but be complimentary to professional approaches and priorities.
