Home-Start » Family Support in Kirklees
Home-Start is the UK’s leading family support charity.
Through a network of more than 15,000 trained parent volunteers nationwide, we support thousands of parents who are struggling to cope.
Our families need support for many reasons, including post-natal depression, the illness of a parent or child, disability, bereavement or social
isolation.
Parents supporting other parents: it’s a simple idea that really works.
Home-Start’s been in operation nationally since 1973 and we now work in more than 340 communities, supporting nearly 70,000 children and 34,000 families. Home-Start Kirklees was established in 1998 and, since then, we have supported over a thousand local families.
At the heart of our charity is the belief that parents have the key role in creating a secure and happy environment for their children.
It’s just that sometimes they need a bit of help.
