Home-Start Fenland Needs Your Help
Home-Start Fenland is a voluntary organisation offering support, friendship and practical help to young families in their own homes. We cover March, Whittlesey and Chatteris and the villages in between. The service is free and confidential.
Being a parent wherever you live or whatever your situation is not easy. Many parents feel exhausted and overwhelmed by the stresses of family life. Some parents lose confidence in their ability to cope and most can remember a time when they would have liked someone to turn to.
How Can Home-Start Help?
Home-Start volunteers visit regularly, offering friendly support, understanding (Home-Start volunteers are parents too!), reassurance, a listening ear and confidentiality.
Volunteers are of all ages and backgrounds. They need no specific qualifications, but they do need the ability to listen with understanding, to maintain confidentiality and a commitment to the Scheme and the families they visit. Full training and support are provided.
A preparation course for volunteers is starting in September 2010. For further details contact Alison Fisher on 01354 655900 or e-mail at home-start-fenland@care4free.net.
