The Essence of Home-Start......

Core Belief

Home-Start believes that children need a happy and secure childhood and that parents play the key role in giving their children a good start in life and in helping them achieve their full potential.

Our Mission

Home-Start Northampton, with the use of volunteers, offers support, friendship and practical help to local families.  We are committed to making our services as accessible as possible to the many diverse communities we work with and to families who find it difficult to reach out for support for themselves, for whatever reason.  We work in partnership with families to develop confidence, positive relationships with their children and to widen their links with the community.  We ensure that resources are sustainable and of the highest quality in order to provide our services to families and support our volunteers.

 

The Home-Start Approach

To Home-Start every family is special and we respond to each family's needs through a combination of home-visiting support and social events. Home-Start schemes are rooted in the communities they serve. They are managed locally but supported by the national organisation. This offers direction, training, information and guidance to schemes and ensures consistent and high quality support for parents and children wherever they are. Home-Start has a proven, lasting, positive impact on the development of children and health and welfare of the family.

 

Our Vision

Home-Start Northampton cares about families.  We provide quality support, professionally managed for parents with children under 5.
