About Us: Home Start Southport and Formby helps Mums, Dads or carers with at least one child under 5, who may be going through difficulties.
The Home Start Southport and Formby team work together to recruit, train and support volunteers and then match them up to families.
Our volunteers help parents going through difficult times, including:
*Loneliness and isolation
*Relationship difficulties
*Coping with twins, triplets or several pre school children
*Ill health, disability or special needs
*Lone parenting
*First time parenthood or new babies
*Postnatal illness
*Children's behavioural problems
Our volunteers are people from different backgrounds and vary in age but all have parenting experience.
They:
*Visit families in their own homes and accept you as you are.
*Are carefully selected for their friendliness, practical approach and understanding.
*Have been approved and have attended a course of preparation before being matched with families.
Home Start support is confidential.
