Volunteer With Families

“It’s not rocket science, but it really works. I am one parent supporting another parent, once a week, that’s all.  To see the small changes in the family that I visit, makes me feel that I am doing something so worthwhile.”

A Home-Start Volunteer

We believe that every child has the right to a happy and fulfilling childhood, can you help us make that happen here in Manchester?

Parenting young children can be joyful and rewarding, but it’s often challenging too. Our volunteers walk alongside the families they support, empowering them to make positive choices in their lives. They do this by offering confidential and non-judgmental help, each week in the homes of families. 

Supporting parents in the early years has a huge impact on families, with early positive experiences fuelling children’s growth, development and happiness throughout their lives.

Our volunteers come from a range of backgrounds and have diverse life experiences, they are as different and unique as the families that they go on to support. 
Why not use your skills to help a local family?
