Home-Start Surrey

We are a family support charity offering practical and emotional support to families who are struggling to cope. We are there for families when they need us the most because childhood can’t wait.
Home-Start Surrey
Working together with families in support of family life we aim to increase their confidence and independence by:
Providing a volunteer with parenting experience to visit parents with young children at home
Offering support, friendship, practical experience and a listening ear
Reassuring parents that difficulties in bringing up children are not unusual and encouraging enjoyment of family life
Encouraging the parents’ strength and emotional well-being for the ultimate benefit of the children
Encouraging families to widen the network of relationships and effectively use support and services available within the community.
Your Impact
We provide home-based parenting support to disadvantaged and vulnerable families, if they have at least one child under five. All our home-visiting volunteers are parents themselves and trained to offer emotional and practical help that is free, confidential and non-judgemental. They work to tested and high quality standards and procedures and all volunteers are DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) checked. They empower the families to develop strategies to manage their difficulties, enable them to gain confidence in their parenting ability and encourage them to access local services and networks within the wider community.
Some of our Surrey Home-Starts provide group sessions to support play, parenting, early learning and mental well-being.
