Welcome to Home-Start Manchester.

We are a local family support charity who recruit and train local parent volunteers to provide weekly emotional and practical home visiting support to families with at least one child under the age of 5 years.

You can listen to the audio for this page here.

We are closed for the Easter break from 4:30pm Thursday 6th April and reopen on Tuesday 11th April.

If you need support, the following services are available over Easter:

Free 24/7 Shout text service. Text the word SHOUT to 85258
