United Kingdom

The UK is where the Home-Start story began, back in 1973 in the English city of Leicester. There are today around 180 local, independent Home-Starts working in 71% of local authority areas across the UK.

Across all four nations of the United Kingdom last year, thousands of home-visiting volunteers support 43,692 families and 78,900 children to transform their lives.

Families struggling with post-natal depression, isolation, physical health problems, bereavement and many other issues receive the support of a volunteer who will spend around two hours a week in a family’s home supporting them in the ways they need.

Home-Starts across the UK also support families in groups, hold day trips and Christmas parties and help access local services, as well as lots of other support.
