Home-Start Camden and Islington

There for you when you need it most, because childhood can't wait

We are a grassroots charity in Camden and Islington providing practical and emotional support to parents with children under the age of five who are struggling. Our fantastic volunteers visit families in their homes (or remotely during Covid-19) and help them with whatever they need.

The parents we work with have a range of needs including needing support with isolation, mental health conditions, living in temporary/inappropriate accommodation or having experienced domestic abuse.

Our support is compassionate and flexible to the family's needs. All of our volunteers have parenting experience themselves so they understand the challenges of parenthood.

We focus on families with children under the age of five because the early years of a child's life are most important for their development. We believe that by helping these families we can make the biggest difference possible in our local communities.
