Volunteer for Home-Start and make a difference to a family in Fermanagh.
Home-Start is a national charity with schemes in hundreds of local communities. We recruit and train volunteers to help families with young children. Our volunteers, who know about being a parent, support other parents by visiting them in their own homes for a couple of hours each week.
All kinds of families can find it hard to cope for all sorts of reasons, maybe illness or disability of a child or because of post-natal illness, bereavement or loneliness. Our supported families, like our volunteers, come from all walks of life.
Your support and friendship can really make a difference. Those early years, before a child goes off to school are vital in a child’s life and at Home-Start we believe parents have the key role in creating a secure childhood for their children. Its just that sometimes they need a bit of help…maybe you can help?
