Welcome to Home-Start Portsmouth

Home-Start Portsmouth is a voluntary organisation committed to promoting the welfare of families, under the age of 5, in the city.

We provide emotional and practical support to families with our trained home-visiting volunteers, stay and play groups and expert support, helping them through their most challenging times.

Volunteers, who are often parents themselves, are trained and supported by experienced coordinators who are there to guide and advise them throughout.

We ensure each family goes through a journey of support to give them the best possible outcomes for their future.

Being a parent can be lonely, frustrating and overwhelming. Home-Start is there for families when they need it the most, because childhood can’t wait.

The earliest years make a big difference, we help to make those years count.

Additional struggles such as post-natal depression, financial worries, relocation or multiple births can make an already vulnerable time, exceptionally hard.

Home-Start Portsmouth is there to support families, so no child’s future is limited.
