We are a local charity providing support, friendship and practical help for young families with young children in the Cotswold District Council area to steer them through the stresses and strains of life.

Our trained volunteers are parents so they understand how hard it can be to bring up young children.  They visit families every week, working alongside parents, in their own homes, to help them through the problems they are facing.

Each year Home-Start Cotswolds aims to support at least 60 families in the area. And, while we are a locally-focused and locally-run charity, we are part of a network of 261 Home-Start schemes across the UK.
