“ Home-Start is a voluntary organisation
committed to promoting the welfare of families with at least one child under
five years of age. Volunteers offer regular support, friendship and
practical help to young families under stress in their own homes, helping to
prevent family crisis and breakdown”
Are you a social or health worker
interested in referring a family to Home-Start for support? To refer a family in the Canterbury, Herne Bay, Whitstable or Faversham
areas we suggest you:-
- Talk to the family about
Home-Start and suggest how we might be able to help
- Ask the family’s permission to
contact Home-Start
-
Complete a referral form, giving outline details of the family's
situation. (Please contact us if you would like to have copies
sent by post or email)
- Contact us at the Home-Start
office in Canterbury
Additional Support
For some families a home-visiting
volunteer may not be an appropriate means of support. Home-Start
Canterbury & Coastal facilitates a number of Family Groups across the area.
Existing groups include Faversham, Greenhill Herne Bay, Joy Lane Playtime Whitstable,
Lucerne Seasalter, St
Andrews Whitstable, Hersden Canterbury, Playtime Herne Bay, Playtime
Whitstable, Querns Canterbury, and St Stephen's Canterbury.
Details of other schemes across the UK
are available from the
Home-Start UK
website.
