Home-Start Hillingdon
Description
Home-Start Hillingdon supports families as they navigate challenges of parenthood including isolation, post-natal depression, relationship problems, or the emotional and practical demands of young children.
A team of 40 trained parent volunteers work with 120 families a year. They visit families for 2-3 hours a week to offer bespoke support, befriending and practical advice. 93% of families felt better able to cope after receiving help. Demand is increasing, but changes in Government funding means the future of HSH is extremely uncertain.
Aware of the difficulties that lie ahead, HSH has successfully piloted a number of corporate and community fundraising initiatives. Support from The Fore will enable HSH to scale these initiatives up to achieve financial sustainability and expand services.
