Period: 2021-2022
Being a parent, whatever your situation, can be very challenging, especially when children are young. Many parents feel exhausted and overwhelmed by the stresses of family life. For some parents it’s a particular struggle because they are also coping with issues such as post-natal depression, their or their child’s illness or disability, isolation or multiple births.
That’s when Home-Start Lambeth can help. A carefully selected volunteer, who has parenting experience, can visit regularly and offer emotional and practical support. This friendly, dedicated 1-1 support is a simple yet effective way of enabling families to get back on track. As a result of our support, families gain more tools and greater resilience to navigate future challenges.
On our website you can find out more about our service, how to become a volunteer or how you could offer your time by becoming a trustee of the charity.
Please support the work we are doing through our Just Giving account, you can make a single or regular monthly donation.
