Home-Start Torfaen

What is Home-start?

Home-Start is a voluntary organisation based at 6 Clarence Street Pontypool where volunteers offer regular support, friendship and practical support to young families under stress in their own homes, helping to prevent family crisis and breakdown also emphasising the pleasures of family life.

Home-Start provides a breathing space for parents and elbow room for many professional workers; who refer any family with at least one child under the age of four years old.

Volunteers, who have experience of being with children, are needed to give regular support to families in the Torfaen area. Training is given to help the volunteers understand the problems that some families may face. On going support and guidance is given to all volunteers to carry out this work.

All volunteers are Police checked.
