Home-visiting, group work and social events tailored to each family's needs.
To Home-Start Stirling, every family is unique and we respond to each family's individual needs.
Home-Start Stirling supports local families with young children who are experiencing challenges such as isolation, mental health difficulties, disability, poverty or domestic abuse.
Our volunteers, generally parents themselves, are trained and carefully matched to a family, providing weekly support in the family's own home with practical help, listening and companionship.
Wee Explorers is our weekly play group for under-fives, promoting positive interaction and reducing isolation. Bump-Start is our ante-natal group, following the 'Togetherness' programme, with newborn support sessions after baby arrives.
Families need support for many different reasons, including isolation, mental health difficulties, physical disability, poverty and domestic abuse.
Home-Start Stirling has a proven, lasting, positive impact on the development of children and on the health and welfare of the family.
Volunteers are carefully matched to a family based on their needs.
Volunteers provide weekly support within the family's own home with practical help, listening and companionship.
There is no time limit to support; staff visit regularly to review the service until everyone agrees it is no longer required.
Because childhood can't wait, get in touch to find out how we can help.
