Home Start Essex

Home-Start Essex is a leading family support charity working across Essex to build the confidence and skills of parents/carers to achieve healthy and positive outcomes for children. Our work comprises a long-established volunteer home visiting service, offering emotional and practical help to families experiencing difficulties, alongside a range of family groups, well-being programmes, courses and events. We work with families with at least one child under the age of eight, and offer some events for families with children up the age of 11yrs. We are early years specialists, and work closely with the Essex Child and Family Wellbeing Service. What makes our charity special, is that all our volunteers have a lived experience as parents/carers themselves.
