The last few years have been tough for families with young children. We see many parents and children who are isolated, living in poverty, facing mental health issues or who have experienced domestic abuse. Children's development has been affected, impacting on their behaviour, learning, confidence and happiness. Together with parents, our trained volunteers and expert staff make the vital early years count to ensure no child's future is limited.

We are a community network of trained volunteers and expert staff helping children and their families through challenging times. Non-judgemental, compassionate and confidential, last year we supported over 1,500 people. We provide emotional support and practical help through weekly home-visiting and free baby/toddler groups that promote learning, play, attachment and happiness. We reach the children and families who need us most.
