When it comes to professional volunteering, many people face barriers. Instead, think of our training as a preparation course, preparing you to meet your family, where you'll be providing a shoulder to cry on, a listening ear and a practical pair of hands. #volunteerforus
It's the end of #MaternalMentalHealthWeek and we'd like to give a shout out to our incredible volunteers who make a difference to mums every day.
"I was sinking and not swimming and I felt so alone. Home-Start was my beacon and I will never, ever forget what they did for me."

We are delighted that we were able to support the @guardian with this hugely important piece, providing both a Home-Start spokesperson and a family that we support. No child should spend their childhood growing in hotels and B&Bs.

We were approached to share our views and comments for an article in The Pensioner Magazine, highlighting the drop in retired people volunteering, and the reasons why.
This was a joint response between our colleagues in Birmingham and Greater Manchester Home-Starts.
A huge congrats to our recently trained volunteers at our Home-Start B'ham Tameside!
We'd also like to say a massive thank you to our long-serving volunteer, Claudette who is sadly leaving us after 13 years of supporting local families. You will be missed!
To all of the women who make Home-Start the
life-changing charity that it is for so many local families. #InternationalWomensDay we couldn't do it without you!

A huge congratulations to Wendy, our lovely manager from Home-Start Tameside, who has just celebrated her 20th work anniversary with Home-Start! Two decades of supporting parents and children, and making such a difference to families in Birmingham.
Child poverty at an all time high. Poor parental mental health at an all time high, the housing crisis, also at an all time high. Families in Birmingham are living in crisis, and this is where we step in. You can find many ways in which you can support us https://t.co/nCdr8KsQoB
Honored to join a child poverty focus group with @HomeStartBham, @Alison_McGovern, @RichParkerLab together with other stalwarts working hard to improve lives in Birmingham. The most powerful voices in the room - the parents sharing their lived experiences!
Yesterday @ITVCentral filmed a family supported by our Home-Start B'Ham North West about her experiences of living in poverty. We were proud to host a rountable discussion lead by @savechildrenuk with @MayorWestMids & MP @Alison_McGovern about #poverty
