What is Home-Start?

Home-Start Bassetlaw have been established since 1984, and have supported families from all walks of life throughout the district of Bassetlaw.

Home-Start is one of a network of 340 local Home-Starts in the UK. We offer friendship and support to parents with young children in a variety of situations, including isolation, bereavement, multiple births, illness, disability or those who are just finding parenting a struggle - so that every child can have the best possible start in life.

Home-Start has a powerful impact on the lives of thousands of families every day, offering support that cuts across all boundaries - of gender, social class, ethnic origin and financial status.

We recruit parent-volunteers to provide support tailored to families' needs. We are locally funded and accountable, but comply with national standards and methods of practice of Home-Start, and with the Home-Start Quality Assurance and monitoring systems.
