Home-Start Hampshire

About

Home-Start Hampshire can offer support to anybody that has at least one child aged 0-11 years, or is expecting a baby. The regular support can be provided in the home, in a group, or occasionally both.

Home- Start Hampshire supports families for a variety of reasons: They may be feeling isolated in their community, have no family nearby or be struggling to make friends. They may be finding it hard to cope because of their own or their child’s illness or disability. They may be struggling with the emotional and physical demands of having several young children. They may have complex needs that can impact on the childrens’ well-being, e.g. domestic abuse, debt, drug or alcohol misuse, poor living environment, etc.

To make a request for support, you can complete a referral form or simply contact the local office (the Hart & Rushmoor office).

About Home-Start Hampshire

Being a parent, whatever your situation, can be very challenging. Many parents feel exhausted and overwhelmed by the stresses of family life. For some parents it’s a particular struggle because they are also coping with issues such as post-natal depression, their or their child’s illness or disability, isolation or multiple births.
That’s when parents need support. That’s when Home-Start Hampshire can help.
This support is a simple yet effective way of enabling families to get back on track.
