Home-Start Central Lancashire
There for parents when they need us most,
because childhood can't wait

Everyone needs a bit of help sometimes…
We deliver our service by promoting family-parent-child based-centred and strength-based trauma-informed approaches, offering invaluable support and guidance allowing the family unit to develop, thrive and stay together.
We help families by providing the following support:
Our home-visiting support service provides families with a volunteer who has parenting experience and additional training. The volunteer visits the family each week for up to two hours at a time to provide practical and emotional holistic support that is tailored to meet the needs of each individual family.
“Just being able to get this off my chest without being judged or criticized means everything to me”
“I felt I was getting it all wrong and I was feeling anxious and scared but your support and patience made it go away and I started to believe in myself”
“Sometimes just having the extra pair of hands at home can make all the difference” – Mum of 6 children.”
“I didn’t know that the early years of development for my child were so important to their future. There is a massive difference between my second child who I had support from Home-Start with and my first child who I struggled with alone”
