Family Support Charity

 
What Home-Start offers
 
We are a local family support charity and cover South and West Devon.

We offer a range of parent support services, but our primary service is our peer mentoring, befriending volunteers.

A volunteer with parenting experience offers support to parents either in the home or digitally. The volunteer offers tailor-made one-to-one support, regularly – usually on a weekly basis.

Support can be:

Emotional support to help parents find ways to manage and resolve problems.

Direct support for children including playing, listening, having fun, establishing routines, encouraging development.

Practical help with getting out,  budgeting, nutrition and meal planning, cooking and making the home safe.

Information and links to other organisations including health and educational services.

The support is led by the parent with the volunteer alongside them.
