Home-Start East Surrey is a local charity which provides friendship and emotional and practical help to parents with at least one child under eleven years old.
We are an independent charity affiliated to Home-Start UK, the country’s leading family support charity, working in East Surrey. Our volunteers are all parents and are trained, supported and supervised to Home-Start UK standards.
Our aim is to provide early support to families who are experiencing a wide range of difficulties such as isolation, low self-esteem, mental health issues and parenting difficulties. We work alongside parents in their own homes to help raise self-confidence and their ability to cope in an increasingly pressured society. Our emphasis is on parents helping parents.
