Home Start South Derbyshire

Welcome to Home-Start South Derbyshire. We offer a unique service to families who have at least one child under 5 years.
We recruit and train volunteers with parenting experience.
Our volunteers visit families in their own home offering informal, friendly and confidential support.

Our scheme is part  funded by Derbyshire County Council and South Derbyshire District Council but we also have to find funding from other sources to continue to provide a high standard of service.

We would love to hear from you if you wish to become involved with Home-Start South Derbyshire; whether you are interested in volunteering or need support.

Thank you for visiting our site and we look forward to hearing from you.
