MEET THE TEAM

GET IN TOUCH

A Home-Start Trustee is a volunteer who sits on the Trustee Board of a local Home-Start scheme. Each scheme is an independent charity and being a Trustee is all about the governance of the charity – making sure that things are done but not necessarily doing them.

Trustees aren’t responsible for the day-to-day running of a scheme but they do carry out a wide range of duties and are responsible for making the charity effective, providing overall direction and maintaining sound management of funds.

Volunteers visit families, in their own homes, for two to three hours per week.

How you help is really down to the family itself.

• Some might need someone to talk to, others might need more practical support.
• Coping with the demands of having young children under the age of 5. Supporting a family to attend appointments.
• We also provide emotional support for families if they  are lonely, isolated and have no family nearby or  are going through challenging times.

Volunteers can also support our families within groups, family activity days and local fundraising events.

Home-Start is a nationwide registered charity which supports families who have at least one child under the age of five years. To us, every family is special and we respond to each family’s needs through a combination of home visiting support, group work and social events.

We do this by recruiting and training volunteers, who are usually parents themselves, to visit families with young children to offer informal, friendly, non-judgemental and confidential support to help build the family’s confidence and ability to cope.
