Families are under immense pressure, and many are reaching breaking point. Rising living costs, housing insecurity and stretched public services are increasing stress and anxiety across the UK. Families with young children are most affected, with parents struggling emotionally, mentally, socially and financially, often without adequate support. The need for timely, compassionate and tailored early help has never been greater.

With 30 years’ experience, Home-Start RKH uses a proven volunteer-led model to transform children’s life chances by supporting families through early intervention and practical, emotional help. 9 in 10 families report improved mental health. We work alongside parents to build stability and resilience at home. As referrals and complexity grow, we must expand and adapt our support to reach more families across the community when they need it most.
