Home-Start launched in 1996, and this year we are celebrating 30 years of supporting families across Wokingham Borough. At the heart of what we do is our home visiting service. Our trained volunteers, many of them parents themselves, visit families with at least one child under five in their own homes each week, offering friendship, a listening ear and practical help. There's no judgement and no waiting for things to reach crisis point. We simply walk alongside parents while they find their feet again.
