How to get help from Home-Start
All parents struggle at one time or another. For some, the challenges can be greater. You are not alone.
Support from Home-Start
Being a parent has never been easy. It can be lonely, frustrating, heart breaking and overwhelming.
Life-changing events can happen to anyone. That is why Home-Start Flintshire is ready to support families through their toughest times.
Every Home-Start volunteer is trained to work alongside you to help you to overcome the challenges you are facing. We work with you to build on your strengths and give you the support that you tell us that you need.
How to get help
Home-Start support is completely free, you do not have to pay for any of our support and it is entirely voluntary.
It might be suggested to you by a health visitor, a doctor or another professional but it is entirely up to you if you want to work with Home-Start.
We are very experienced in matching families with volunteers who we think will understand your situation and be able to work with you. If either you or the volunteer is not happy you can end the relationship and try another match.
All of our support is confidential. You don’t have to tell anyone that you are being supported by Home-Start, and we will never tell anyone else unless you say that we can.

Testimonials
It has enabled me to be a better Mum because of the support I have had.
Just knowing that, on a certain day, I would have a second pair of hands was wonderful and a great help to all of us.
My volunteer was like the hand that supports a toddler’s first steps… Home-Start reminded me that, without me taking care of myself, I wouldn’t be able to care for others.
Our volunteer has given our children confidence and freedom to be themselves.
She (the volunteer) was a regular part of the children’s lives, so I knew that they trusted her… It was the regularity that made it such a support – something to look forward to when things were difficult.
