"because every parent should have the support they need to give their children the best possible start in life."
Home-Start
Warrington offers friendship and informal support to parents with
young children in the local community, so that every child can have a good
start in life.
One in four children under five in the UK has a difficult start in life, because their families are under pressure. Yet every child deserves the best possible start; to be loved, to play, to learn and to grow in confidence. When this happens in a happy, secure family, a child's health, schooling and life prospects improve.
Home-Start Warrington believes that parents play the key role in ensuring that children have a happy and secure childhood, but even the most dedicated parent can face challenges that prevent them doing all they want for their children. We support parents as they grow in confidence, strengthen their relationships with their children and widen their links with the local community.
Our committed and caring volunteers, who are usually parents themselves, offer friendship and informal support to parents with young children under five during difficult times in their lives. They visit families at home and are friendly, approachable people who are relied on and trusted by parents to listen without being judgemental, and to respect the needs of each individual family.
