Things We Can Help With

Being a parent is never easy—it can feel lonely, frustrating, heartbreaking, and overwhelming. Every parent struggles at times, and you are not alone.

Home-Start’s expert staff and trained volunteers offer compassionate, non-judgmental, and confidential support. We’re here to help you regain confidence and become the parent you want to be. Below are just some of the areas where we can help:

A Volunteer to Support You Home-Start volunteers understand the challenges of parenting. They work alongside you, often in your home, helping you build the skills, confidence, and strength needed to nurture your children.

Group Support Many Home-Starts offer specialist groups for parents, as well as groups for babies and children, so families can connect and support each other.

Parental Mental Health & Perinatal Illness Over a third of the parents we support seek help with perinatal illness, mental health challenges, or their child’s mental wellbeing.

Isolation Whether you’ve moved away from friends, don’t have family nearby, or feel disconnected, we’re here to help you find your community.

Money Issues If managing money feels overwhelming, we offer support to help families get organised and make ends meet.

Disability & Illness Living with a long-term illness or disability can be life-changing for parents and children. Home-Start offers support to navigate these challenges.

Twins, Triplets & Multiple Children Multiple births bring unique joys and challenges—an extra pair of hands from a volunteer might be just what you need.

Forces Families Home-Start supports families on British Forces bases, both in Cyprus and in UK bases, garrisons, and barracks.

When a Relationship Ends If you’re adjusting after a separation, divorce, or leaving an abusive relationship, Home-Start provides support for moving forward.
