About Home-Start Essex

Home-Start Essex works with parents and carers to help give their children the best possible start in life. We do this by supporting them to improve their mental health and physical health and to build their confidence in themselves and their parenting. Through support from Home-Start Essex, families are encouraged to build their networks of support, to reduce feelings of isolation or loneliness and to find ways to manage the challenges they face.

These roles are active in Southend area only. If you are looking to support in other areas in Essex please see our volunteering opportunities covering those areas.
