Parents need help, friendship, advice and support during those early years when children are young. Home-Start Craven offers support to families going through difficult times such as feeling isolated, illness, poor mental health, bereavement, the demands of having twins, disability, support with budgeting and cooking healthy family meals and other similar challenges.
Home-Start Craven matches each supported family with a volunteer who will visit a them once a week to offer a mixture of practical help and emotional support. Volunteers come from all walks of life and have a wealth of parenting experience. All of our volunteers undertake a training course and are DBS checked before being allowed to visit families
