Home-Start Guildford
Mission Statement
Parents Supporting Other Parents - a simple idea that really works!
Home-Start Guildford has been supporting families for 25 years. We are a charity and voluntary organisation that aims to prevent family crisis or breakdown by offering regular volunteer support to parents who are experiencing stress with at least one child under the age of 5, usually referred to us by Health Visitors.
We recruit and train volunteers who have parenting experience, to visit the families at home for a few hours once a week and offer them informal, friendly and confidential support, as well as practical help. This support is aimed at helping parents to grow in confidence, strengthen their relationships with their children and widen their links with the local community. Ultimately this support helps the children have the best possible start in life.
Please see the volunteer role for more detail.
