Home-Start East Lothian is an established local community organisation of trained volunteers committed to promoting the welfare of families with at least one child under five years of age. We aim to support families that are referred to us by statutory or voluntary organisations for example by social workers, health visitors or women’s aid or self-referrals when mums and sometimes dads, are struggling with a number of issues. These issues could include post-natal depression, poor mental health, isolation, problems coping with parenting, poor housing conditions, poverty, domestic abuse or bereavement. We help families by providing a volunteer to establish a supportive, non-judgemental relationship with a family offering regular friendship and support. We recruit, train and support volunteers to work with families. With families that are facing more severe and complex issues we match them with one of our trained family support workers.

Objectives: a) to safeguard, protect and preserve the good health, both mental and physical of children and parents of children. b) to prevent cruelty to or maltreatment of children. c) to. relieve sickness, poverty and need amongst children and parents of children. d) to promote the education of the public in better standards of child care
