Home-Start Birmingham

Home-Start Birmingham is one of the region's leading family support charity.

We want to see a society in which all children have the right to a happy childhood and the chance to flourish and thrive.

Across Birmingham Home-Start supports many families who are struggling to cope with life's challenges.

There are many reasons why local families turn to Home-Start for support, including poverty, poor mental health, domestic abuse and isolation. And the aftermath of the Pandemic, and the Cost-of-Living crisis, has seen a significant rise in families turning to Home-Start.

By recruiting and training local volunteers, (who are often parents themselves or have parenting experience), we offer emotional and practical support to families in their own homes, through a network of local volunteers.

We believe that children need a happy and secure childhood and that parents play the key role in giving their children the best possible start in life and helping them to achieve their full potential.

We are there for all families across Birmingham with young children.
