Three years on from the launch of the Independent Care Review findings, we proudly continue to #KeepThePromise, here at Home-Start Angus, working for care-experienced children and parents.

We listen to children and families to see what may need to change #stilllotstodo

[Home-Start Angus @HomeStartAngus]

As families face a truly difficult time with the #CostOfLivingCrisis, we are more grateful than ever to our trustees who help ensure we can provide support. This #TrusteesWeek we thank them for the dedication, wisdom and commitment that they bring. #HomeStartTrustee

We had great fun on our training day with some of our volunteers doing messy play. Thanks to Stephanie from @SmartPlayNtwrk for coming along to lead the training.

Thank you @RobertsonTrust for yesterday's Life & Debt event. A thought-provoking day of inspiration. If will was all that was needed to improve lives, the issues would be resolved. Let's keep the momentum going until we see big change #ChallengePoverty #CostOfLivingCrisis

[Home-Start Angus @HomeStartAngus]

@ThatKerryHudson And a sterling job you did too! Impressed by your humour and calm in what must've been a stressful situation. Well done @JohnLoughton for your professionalism and humour which kept your audience engaged. Impressive teamwork! An inspiring and thought-provoking day @RobertsonTrust

[Home-Start Angus @HomeStartAngus]

Thanks for taking time to listen @GraemeDeyMSP. Was great to give some of our wonderful families the opportunity to be heard. Life can be challenging and we feel privileged to be alongside families aiming to reduce impact of #poverty #loneliness @HSScotland @HSScotDirector

[Angus South SNP @AngusSouthSNP]

It was a pleasure to catch up with Audrey at @HomeStartAngus for the first time since the pandemic.

Their dedication to supporting Angus families does not go unnoticed and I was grateful for the opportunity to show my support during #ChallengePovertyWeek.

Huge thanks to @fire_scot Arbroath for hosting our little Friday Family Group. Our wee ones had a ball (think our slightly bigger ones may have too!) @HSScotland

Well done to all @HSEastLothian, a well deserved recognition for the wonderful work that goes on between #families and #volunteers #BecauseChildhoodCantWait

[HS East Lothian @HSEastLothian]

1/2 Wow We had the most amazing day - today as manager of Home-Start East Lothian I received, on behalf of the charity, the Queens Award for Voluntary Service , the MBE for charities - a total honour. More professional photos to follow but these capture the afternoon xxx

[Home-Start Angus @HomeStartAngus]

Strategy session @HomeStartAngus style. Loved hearing everyone's voice - families, volunteers, trustees and staff. Thank you to everyone for your contribution - valuable stuff! @HSScotDirector @pgrigg @homestartuk @HSScotland #teamwork #becausechildhoodcantwait

[Home-Start Angus @HomeStartAngus]

We know it makes economic sense @HSScotland @homestartuk @HomeStartAngus #becausechildhoodcantwait #earlychildhood

[The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood @Earlychildhood]

What does the science tell us about the importance of #earlychildhood? Does investing early make economic sense? Our Big Change Starts Small report distils everything you need to know:

Grateful thanks to @EastCoastViners Renewables Ltd for your generous donation to the work of @HomeStartAngus. We appreciate your support. Young families across Angus will benefit from your kindness #FamilySupport #BecauseChildhoodCantWait #Community

[Home-Start Angus @HomeStartAngus]

Grateful to work for an organisation like @homestartuk @HSScotland @HomeStartAngus where we get to contribute to lessening the impact of loneliness & isolation on new parents and babies (& did so all through lockdown). Sadly we have heard this all too often

[Suzanne Zeedyk @suzannezeedyk]

"I had a baby during lockdown. It was the worst time of my life. Lonely, high anxiety." This is one of many stories told today by attndees at @ThriveApproach.
We shd be paying attntn to parents' needs. Maternal anxiety shapes infant biology. We ignore this at our own peril.

@HSEastLothian @QueensAwardVS @HSScotland @elcourier Congratulations to all @HSEastLothian! Our #volunteers really are the #HeartofHomeStart

[Home-Start Angus @HomeStartAngus]

Thank you to all of our wonderful #volunteers who attended yesterday's celebratory Afternoon Tea. You really are the #HeartofHomeStart and we feel privileged to have you alongside us as we endeavour to ease the burdens faced by young families across Angus @HSScotland @homestartuk

[Home-Start Scotland @HSScotland]

There are many harmful stereotypes around children in care. Seen as 'lost causes', people with care experience are confronted with stigma throughout life. As #PromiseKeepers, we are committed to help drive positive, lasting change.
