Home-Start North West Kent

Many parents need help, advice, support and friendship during those early years when children are young. Trained volunteers home visit those feeling isolated and in need of reassurance.

A team of 60 multicultural volunteers, speaking 18 languages between them, support families in Dartford, Gravesham, Swanley and surrounding villages for 2-3 hours each week, for anything between 6-15 months, having been carefully matched by staff frequently according to shared experience. Families referred by health and social professionals because they are:

socially isolated with no friends or family
suffering from post-natal illness
coping with a disabled or sick child
overwhelmed by grief after the loss of a loved one and unable to function
struggling to cope with multiple birth
suffering with depression / mental health
from a minority ethnic community with language support needs

A well established charity raising its own funds to support parents in some of the most deprived areas in Kent – many of whom struggle with additional challenges related to low income, debt management and unemployment.

Families in North West Kent are more ethnically diverse that any other Kent district – and recent data from Dartford and Gravesham Community Safety Partnership also shows an increase in domestic abuse and teenage pregnancies.
