Home Start Warrington is raising funds to enable us to take the children and families we support on days out and to run activity days in the school holidays. Many of our children face emotional and financial hardship and we want to provide memories they can treasure. Because childhood can't wait.

    Situation

    Many of the children we support live with emotional and financial challenges. Home-Start works with children and young families in Warrington to be healthy, stay safe, be happy, make a positive contribution to society and achieve economic well-being. The earliest years make the biggest impact: Home-Start makes sure those years count so that no child’s future is limited. Children who are raised in a stable, loving, family environment are more likely to have a positive and healthy future.

    Solution

    Our volunteers undertake a preparation course, to enable them to support a family. Volunteers will then support the family for three hours every week. Working alongside parents to help them cope with the stresses and strains of life and make sure they have the skills, time and strength they need to nurture their children. Parents and volunteers often develop a deeply trusting relationship which can lead to powerful change within the family.
