“Home-Start raises self-confidence, improves social networks, reduces difficult behaviour on the part of the child and improves physical and mental health”Every Child Matters Government Green Paper.
“My volunteer is an amazing woman. If I have a problem I can confide in her and she gives me another way of seeing things instead of always the down side, as I have been feeling lately. I always enjoy seeing my volunteer and she is always a joy to be around.” Debra - Family
