Who we are

Home-Start in East Lancashire recruits and trains volunteers, to visit families at home and offer them informal, friendly and confidential support. The families we help have at least one child under 11.

We support parents as they grow in confidence, strengthen their relationship with their children and widen their links with the local community. Home-Start has a proven, lasting, positive impact on the development of children and the health and welfare of the family.

Our Vision

Our vision for Home-Start in East Lancashire (HSEL) is to be where every family, every volunteer, every member of staff and every supporter, funder and partner feels welcomed, included and valued as part of our Home-Start.

We aim to:

• Be inclusive and accessible by design.
• Have diverse representation throughout our work.
• Be proactively addressing inequalities that exist in communities preventing families and children from thriving.

We will embed learning around diversity and inclusive practice and continue to improve our services to all.

Support for parents

Being a parent has never been easy. It can be lonely, frustrating, heart breaking and over-whelming. All parents struggle at one time or another. You are not alone. Home-Start’s expert staff and trained volunteers work alongside families just like yours to give non-judgmental, compassionate and confidential support.
