Home-Start Manchester
Are you finding juggling the home and the children a struggle, are you feeling alone and need a chat?
Do you know what is available within your community or nervous of meeting new people?
If you live in the Manchester area and have at least one child under five, Home-Start may be able to help.
Home-Start helps families with young children deal with whatever life throws at them. We support parents as they learn to cope, improve their confidence and build better lives for their children. The benefits of our support include improved health and wellbeing and better family relationships.
We provide one-to-one support for parents.
Our volunteers visit the family’s home for a couple of hours every week. They tailor-make their support to the needs of the parents and children.
Volunteers are very committed and will keep visiting until the youngest child turns five or starts school, or until the parents feel they can stand on their own two feet. Parents and volunteers often develop a deeply trusting relationship which can lead to powerful change within the family.
