Three people tell their stories of the importance of volunteering for Home-Start - whether as as home-visiting volunteer, someone who helps at a group, or as a supported parent.

“It’s good fun; the kids love it, the mums enjoy it and I think everybody goes out feeling better than hopefully they did when they came in.” - Isabel tells us about volunteering at a Home-Start family support group.

“I came to a point in my life: my children had grown up. I wanted to do something different." - Angela makes weekly home-visits to support a family, and here she explains why she got involved in volunteering for Home-Start
