Company

Home-Start Barnet, Brent & Harrow is one of 269 independent branches of the national charity, Home-Start UK. We offer support, friendship and practical help to families in Barnet, Brent and Harrow.

Since opening in October 1997, we have supported almost 3,500 families (including more than 7,000 children), recruited and trained 563 volunteers drawn from the local community.  We have an excellent reputation in the borough and support a growing number of families with increasingly complex needs requiring intensive, dedicated support from staff and our volunteers.

Our core work is with families with (at least) one child under five. Trained volunteers visit the family once a week, supporting them in a variety of practical or emotional ways. This may sound simple, but it works

 

We also run family groups, parenting programmes, a financial guidance programme, a domestic violence programme, and two health-coaching programmes as well as providing annual outings for the families we support.
