To help give children the best possible start in life, Home-Start supports parents as they grow in confidence, strengthen their relationship with their children and widen their links with the local community. Home-Start offers support, friendship and practical help to parents with young children in the local community. Whilst visiting families at home is the traditional Home-Start approach, due to COVID-19, our Volunteers will be asked to support a family through weekly telephone/video calls.

Deafblind UK members have combined sight and hearing loss and many live alone with few family and friends around them. Making a regular call or sending an email or letter to one of our members could make a huge difference right now. So many of them live alone and having the opportunity to speak to another person can be of huge benefit to their general well-being.

The Community Leaflet Volunteer aged 18+ will be out and about in the community posting leaflets through the doors of residents and handing out batches of posters and leaflets to local businesses.
