Who we are

We are an independent charity, based in Wiltshire, where we have been helping local families for over 35 years. Our mission is to empower parents to give their children the best start in life.

We benefit from being affiliated to Home-Start UK and a network of other local Home-Starts, who support and advocate for the needs of families across the UK.

Being a parent to young children has never been easy. It can bring the most delightful joy, and can also be lonely, frustrating, heartbreaking and overwhelming. With the right support, things can get easier, making day-to-day life and children’s futures so much brighter.

Our compassionate, non-judgemental services are delivered through weekly volunteer home visiting, and parent and child groups.  All of our support is free, confidential, and open to families with at least one child under five years old.

We are currently piloting support for older children, and on some occasions may be able to support families with at least one child under seven years old. Please get in touch to find out more.
