About Home Start Perth and Kinross
We believe that children need a happy and secure childhood and that parents and carers play the key role in giving their children a good start in life and helping them to achieve their potential.
We provide a unique service; recruiting and training volunteers who themselves have parenting experience, to work with families in their own homes, building supportive relationship and responding directly to the family’s individual needs.
