Home -Start believes that children need a happy and secure childhood and that parents play the key role in giving their children a good start in life and helping them achieve their full potential.

We offer support, friendship and practical help to parents living in the Amber Valley Area

We recruit and train volunteers who are usually parents themselves to visit families at home who have at least one child under 5 and offer them informal friendly and confidential support.

Home-Start wants to see a society in which every parent has the support they need to give their children the best possible start in life.
