Home-Start believes that children need a happy and secure childhood and that parents play the key role in giving their children a good start in life and helping them to achieve their full potential.

 Vision and Objectives

We want to see a society in which every parent has the support they need to give their children the best possible start in life.

 We want all our children to grow up with:

• Safe places to live and play
• Support when their parents suffer from a mental illness
• Protection from hunger and poor nutrition

 We aim to:

• Reach out to families who need us most
• Champion and promote the value of volunteers and volunteering
• Actively engage in partnerships that improve family support and services

We do this by providing:

Home Visiting Service- Volunteers with an interest in helping children and families will be safely recruited and trained to offer practical and emotional support to families in their own homes. They will build a unique relationship with the family which will provide a sound basis for helping through those difficult times. Visits will be between 2-4 hours and will focus on the needs identified by our experienced Organisers, responsible for the supervision and support of the volunteers.

Family Learning Group- twice weekly families will be supported in a nurturing group which focusses on strengthening the relationships and confidence within a family to provide children with the opportunities they need to develop and grow.

Tenancy Support Service- Supporting families with the expertise of Tenancy Support Workers who will prevent homelessness and support with all issues in acquiring and maintaining a tenancy within Wrexham.
