Their Supporters partner is: Home-Start Wessex

The mission at Home-Start Wessex is to give children the best possible start in life by supporting local parents going through a challenging life situation. They provide specially-trained volunteers to work with the family at this vital time to ensure the child has a positive start in life and goes on to flourish.

Parents are often dealing with more than one issue from; poor mental health, disability, domestic abuse, bereavement and isolation, which impacts the child’s young years causing ongoing problems. The earliest years make a big difference and they help to make sure those years count, so no child’s future is limited.
