Service Description

Home-Start TH recruits and trains volunteers from the local community to provide emotional and practical support to parents who live in the Borough of Tower Hamlets and have at least one child under the age of 5. By vsiting a family in their own home and offering friendship, Home-Start volunteers represent a lifeline for many families who are struggling to cope with social issues such as isolation, depression, multiple births, disabilities etc.

Home-Start TH offers practical and emotional support to families with children under the age of 5, who are struggling to cope or may require some practical & emotional support. We recruit and train volunteers to support families in their own home for up to three hours one day each week.

Home-Start TH supports families in their own homes as well as running parent and toddler groups, creches and parenting classes, tailored to the needs of the community.
