Home-Start Stroud and Gloucester is a local charity supporting parents who are going through challenging times located in the Stroud District and Gloucester areas.
We recruit and train volunteers from around the Stroud District and Gloucester areas, then carefully match the volunteer with an appropriate family. All of the families we support must have at least one child under five years of age. The volunteer visits the family in their own home once a week. Families tell us what a huge difference it makes to their lives to have that support at a time of need, often describing our volunteers as “a ray of sunshine”. The best part of our work is to see the children start to thrive again as the volunteer helps the parents work through their difficulties and gain confidence in their parenting.
