Welcome to Home-Start East Surrey
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.
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.
Home-Start East Surrey is 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.
