Are you a parent, grandparent or have experience of caring for children?
Do you have 2-3 hours per week to spare? Use your experience to support a family facing challenging times.
Our Home-Visiting Service supports families who are experiencing difficulties or suffering stress and who have at least one child under the age of five years.
Our aims are:
🤝 To increase the confidence and independence of the family by:
🤝 Offering support, friendship and practical assistance
🤝 Visiting families in their own homes and in their community, where the dignity and identity of each adult and child can be respected and protected
🤝 Reassuring parents that difficulties in bringing up children is not unusual and encouraging them to enjoy family life.
🤝 Developing a relationship with the family in which time can be shared and understanding can be developed. This approach is flexible to take account of different needs.
🤝 Encouraging parents’ strengths and emotional wellbeing – for the ultimate benefit of their children.
🤝 Encouraging families to widen their network of relationships, and to effectively use the support and services available within the community.
