Objectives

Home-Start is a voluntary organisation offering support, friendship and practical help to families with children aged 9 and under. Through our network of trained volunteers, we offer free, non-judgemental, compassionate and confidential support through home-visiting and our family support groups. 

Home-Start links a well-prepared supervised volunteer with each family referred, offering home visits, usually for 2-3 hours per week.  Volunteers can talk with parents, offer a listening ear, play with children or accompany the family on outings or appointments. We have no preconceived ideas about an individual family's needs, and therefore each volunteer tailors the support they offer to what the family is asking for.

Alongside our home visiting service, Home-Start Royston, Buntingford & South Cambridgeshire run a family support group in both Royston and Buntingford, providing a safe supportive environment where families can meet each other. 

This early intervention service offers a gateway to many other community services, and Home-Start works in partnership with them to improve the life chances of families and young children.
