Norway
Home-Start has been active in Norway since 1995, beginning in Trondheim. The Norwegian government funded a National office in 2000, now employing 4 staff and one part-time project position. Norway has 49 schemes with around 70 coordinators, and in 2023, 874 volunteers supported 1,185 families and 2,463 children. Despite Norway’s strong welfare system, Home-Start provides additional support and is well-integrated into local communities and government plans for children’s health. Most schemes are operated by municipalities or organizations like the Salvation Army. New schemes require approval from the national office and must employ at least one coordinator in a 50% role.
