Our vision is for our community to be one in which every parent has the support they need to give their children the best possible start in life. Our volunteers visit families at home each week for a couple of hours, supporting parents with young children who are finding it difficult for many reasons. They provide non-judgemental practical and emotional support and help build the family’s confidence and ability to cope. We are also developing some family groups.
