Home-Start is a local community network of trained volunteers and expert support. We help families with children up to 18 years with practical and confidential support.
Being a parent can be lonely, frustrating and overwhelming. Home-Start is there for families when they need it the most, because childhood can't wait.
The earliest years make a big difference. Home-Start helps to make those years count, so no child's future is limited.
Welcome to Home-Start Herefordshire
Home-Start Herefordshire is an independent, local charity run by Trustees. It has provided invaluable support and friendship to families since 1982 and achieved positive outcomes for hundreds of families across Herefordshire. We recruit and train volunteers to visit families at home and offer them informal, friendly, and confidential support. Our approach is as individual as the people we are helping.
We are affiliated with the national organisation Home-Start UK but are responsible for our management and funding. We have eight staff members, seven trustees and a team of approximately 60 volunteers.
