Asking for a little support doesn't mean you're failing as a parent — it means you care. Home-Start volunteers are parents too.

About this service

Home-Start Camden and Islington is a family support charity that recruits and trains volunteers — many of whom are parents themselves — to visit families with at least one child under five who are struggling. Volunteers offer regular, friendly support in the family home, providing a listening ear, practical help, and encouragement. Home-Start can help families dealing with postnatal depression, isolation, bereavement, disability, domestic difficulties, or simply the challenges of parenting young children. All support is free, confidential and non-judgemental.
