To help give children the best possible start in life, Home-Start supports parents as they grow in confidence, strengthen their relationship with their children and widen their links with the local community. Home-Start offers support, friendship and practical help to parents with young children in the local community. Whilst visiting families at home is the traditional Home-Start approach, since COVID-19 our volunteers offer flexible ways of supporting from home visiting, outdoor/community support to phone calls and video calls, weekly or fortnightly. Volunteers offer a realistic, flexible response and a caring attitude rather than a clearly defined method of working. By sharing their time and friendship volunteers offer families opportunities to develop new relationships, fresh ideas, and enhanced skills and capabilities. Families can gain the confidence to take advantage of other resources in the community. The work of the volunteer requires a high level of commitment and reliability and will be regularly supported by Home-Start Cymru.
