About Home-Start Reading

We support families in Reading through difficult times, to help parents give their children the best possible start in life. Our trained volunteers, mostly parents themselves, work alongside our expert support team to help families with young children, who are struggling due to a range of reasons. These might include low mood, depression, anxiety, ill health, disability, broken relationships, bereavement, domestic abuse, poor housing or financial hardship. The parents may be feeling overwhelmed and isolated and lack the self-confidence and strategies to break the cycle. We help to build their capabilities, connections and resilience, giving children the chance to thrive, have a happier future and enjoy the same opportunities as others.
