Are you struggling to get out and about with young children, feeling lonely or isolated?

Did you know that Home-Start is a charity that provides support to parents with young children?

Being a parent, whatever your situation, can be very difficult at times, especially when children are young. Many parents feel exhausted and overwhelmed by the stresses of family life, particularly if they have little support from family and friends, just when they need it most. We support parents who have at least one child under 5 years and who are dealing with issues such as:

• Isolation
• Mental Health
• Sickness
• Disability
• Domestic Abuse
• Multiple Births
• Difficult Relationships

What do we offer:

You could request to attend our family group held at the Guildford Family Centre in Hazel Avenue on Thursday mornings during term time, or we can look to match you with a home visiting volunteer.

Our dedicated and experienced home visiting volunteers provide regular visits at your home, offering emotional and practical support through difficult times. This parent to parent support is a simple yet effective way of giving hope and enabling families to get back on track.

How to request support:

To access our services you will need to complete a simple referral form which is available from our website www.hsguildford.org.uk or you can contact our office by calling 01483 511181 or emailing office@hsguildford.org.uk.

Interested in Volunteering?

We are always on the lookout for new volunteers, there is no age limit, and we welcome anyone who might be interested in volunteering. All of our home visiting volunteers have parenting experience or have worked with children, but there are also other volunteering opportunities available. Please contact the office for more information.
