Home-Start East Fife

Welcome to our scheme

What does Home-Start do?

Families with children under five years of age can find life difficult at times. It often helps to have someone who is able to share these difficulties and will listen to what they have to say... someone who understands.

Home-Start - now an international voluntary organisation - was set up to offer families this kind of support. Our scheme covers the North East of Fife in Scotland, and has been running for more than two decades!

Volunteers visit families on a weekly basis offering support, friendship and practical help, preventing family breakdown or crisis. Our volunteers come from all walks of life, just like the families we support.
