Home-Start is a charity in Rochdale and Bury offers practical and emotional support for expectant parents and children up to 12 years. We recruit parent volunteers from the community, to visit families within their own homes, helping to prevent crisis and breakdown. Support is weekly and supports families who are lonely, isolated and struggle to manage family life on a daily basis. We offer telephone support for parent, group support sessions and community outings. Families with a child on the Autistic Spectrum are also supported by other parents who have been through similar circumstances, offering coping strategies and ideas to support their child. We need new volunteers to support families! We need new Trustees to help manage the charity! Please contact us if you can help.
