We are an independent registered charity, company limited by guarantee and part of the national Home-Start UK network. Whilst Home-Start UK offer advice and support and ensure we meet their stringent Quality Assurance standards we are an autonomous charity governed by our own board of trustees and responsible for raising our own funds.
We have a team of committed, professionally trained and highly experienced volunteers who deliver Home-Start’s unique brand of family support across a range of issues, offering both practical and emotional help to empower families to function more independently.
We are proud of the service that we deliver, we take time to listen to families and what they say they need a little help with and work together to decide what support would help them achieve their goals. Our support looks different for every family.
We have a small staff team who support our volunteers. Our Volunteer Co-ordinator recruits, trains and provides ongoing support and supervision of our volunteers. We also have a Family Support Advisor who specialises in short-term, more intensive support for families where volunteer support alone may not be sufficient.
Home-Start Newcastle Borough has been working in the Borough since 1997 supporting families facing a range of issues. Through early intervention our volunteers aim to empower families and help them to develop strategies so they are able to function more independently and to be able to deal with issues themselves in the future.
