About us
Who we are
Founded in 1989, Home-Start Surrey Heath offers a unique service, recruiting and training volunteers to visit families at home. Families, who have at least one child under 5, are offered informal, friendly and confidential, practical and emotional support. Our volunteers work alongside parents, in their own homes, to help them cope with the stresses and strains of family life and make sure they have the skills, confidence and strength they need to nurture their children. Our volunteers are caring and non-judgemental.
We also provide two groups - a Pram Walk & Talk on a Thursday at Frimley Lodge Park and a Best Start in Life Group every Tuesday at High Cross Church, to support play, parenting, early learning and well-being.
Parents may be struggling with the demands of parenting for any number of reasons including mental health, social isolation, domestic violence, children with special educational needs and disabilities – a whole range of reasons.
To help give children the best possible start in life, Home-Start supports parents as they grow in confidence, strengthen their relationships with their children and widen their links with the local community.
Our Vision
Every parent has the support they need to give their children the best possible start in life.
Our Mission
To help children get the best possible start in life, Home-Start Surrey Heath supports parents across the borough, to grow in confidence, strengthen their relationships with their children and widen their links with the local community.
