Home-Start Mid & West Suffolk offers friendly, practical help and support to families with at least one child under 12. Volunteers, parents themselves, regularly visit families in their own homes to help prevent crisis and family breakdown; to be supportive in tough times. There is no charge for the service.
We also run Family Groups and Support Groups in various locations throughout Mid & West Suffolk. Please refer to our website for details.
We work on a one to one basis with families in their own homes. We work with the family to identify what help they need/want and provide that in a non-judgemental, supportive way. When appropriate we work in partnership with other agencies and signpost to other services. There is no charge for the service and we work with the family to identify how long they need support for. This is done by carrying out reviews on a regular basis, e.g. quarterly.
