We believe that treating everyone fairly and giving a warm welcome to all, as well as helping children and vulnerable adults stay safe and secure and be healthy and happy is very important. We work to make sure that this is at the centre of everything we do and the way that we do it.

Ways to volunteer

By volunteering just a few hours a week you can transform the lives of young children and their parents in your community.

Why fundraise for us?

A child’s earliest years are the most important. Home-Start wants to make sure those years count. Can you help us?

In 2020 we embraced the commitment to become a carbon-neutral organisation as a core part of our work to improve the future lives of young children.  In conjunction with advice and oversight from Zellar, we have already completed most of the necessary changes to achieve this strategy; you can use this link to see our progress: https://app.zellar.com/profile/Home-Start-South-Leicestershire.
