Home Start Horizons

Oct 15, 2019

Home-Start Horizons is a voluntary organisation committed to promoting the welfare of families with at least one child under the age of 5.

The charity has been working to support families in Leicestershire and Rutland since 1973, and believes that children need a happy and secure childhood.

They recognise that parents and carers play a key role in giving their children a good start in life, which in turn helps them achieve their full potential.

The services offered include: recruiting and training volunteers, working with families in their own homes, building supportive relationships and responding directly to each family’s individual needs.

In 2019 the Randal Charitable Foundation awarded a grant to Home-Start Horizons to support their Mums in Mind (MIMs) project, which support women with post-natal illnesses.

The charity has a network of Home-Start schemes throughout the UK, which offer support to help children to get the best start in life. Each scheme is independently funded, managed locally and has the support of the national organisation, which is called Home-Start UK.

Areas of support, which the charity particularly focusses on, include: social isolation, domestic abuse, lone parenting, poverty, illness & disability, post-natal illnesses and coping with several children under the age of 5.
