Period: 2021-2022

Home-Start Lambeth provides a service to the London Borough of Lambeth. Being a parent, whatever your situation, can be very challenging, especially when children are young. Many parents feel exhausted and overwhelmed by the stresses of family life. For some parents it’s a particular struggle because they are also coping with issues such as post-natal depression, their or their child’s illness or disability, isolation or multiple births. That’s when parents need support.

That’s when Home-Start Lambeth can help. A carefully selected volunteer, who has parenting experience, can visit regularly and offer emotional and practical support. This friendly parent-to-parent support is a simple yet effective way of enabling families to get back on track. Please take a moment to go through the pages of this website to find out more about our service, how to become a volunteer or how you could offer your time by becoming a trustee of the charity.

Please support the work we are doing through our Just Giving account, you can make a single or regular monthly donation.

Thank you for your support.
