Project Coordinator - Fareham, United Kingdom - Home-Start Hampshire

Description

About Us

Home-Start Hampshire is a volunteer led organisation that provides support to families with young children (0-11yrs), when they need it most.

There are a range of reasons that families seek support.

These can include traumatic experiences, feelings of isolation, mental health issues or a combination of factors - there is no single cause.

We carefully match a trained volunteer to provide 1-1 support to a family in their own home, helping them tackle life's challenges and build confidence to turn their difficult days, into brighter tomorrows.

Our volunteers are at the heart of what we do, as are our values. We are committed to providing the best support we can, to those who have found themselves needing our help.
