Welcome to Home-Start Bristol & South Gloucestershire

Home-Start Bristol & South Gloucestershire offers free, confidential support, friendship and practical help to parents in Bristol and South Gloucestershire who are going through a challenging time and have at least one child under the age of five.

Being a parent, whatever your situation, can be difficult, especially when children are young. Many parents feel exhausted and overwhelmed by the stresses of family life, particularly if they have don’t have the support of family and friends when they need it most. For some parents it’s a particular struggle because they are also trying to cope with issues such as post-natal depression, illness or disability, isolation or multiple birth.

 

That’s when parents need support. That’s when Home-Start Bristol can help.

We deliver support through targeted groups in children’s centres across Bristol and South Gloucestershire and through home visiting.

Volunteers are at the heart of everything that we do. Our carefully selected volunteers are all parents themselves and understand the challenges families may be facing. They offer emotional and practical support to help families through difficult times. This friendly parent-to-parent support is a simple yet effective way of enabling families to get back on track.
