Organisation description

Home-Start South Leicestershire is a small independent charity operating across Harborough District in South Leicestershire. We are part of the federated model supported by the national charity Home-Start UK, which governs branding use and quality monitoring. The help we provide aims to prevent family breakdown caused by the multiple impact of factors such as poor self-esteem and low confidence, mental illness, physical ill health and disabilities, or financial difficulties, which are all further compounded by the parental responsibilities, tasks and skills involved with bringing up children.

Homeshare Leicestershire connects people wanting companionship and some help around their home, with people looking for affordable accommodation.

Homeowners are people who live in their own accommodation. They have a spare bedroom and are happy to share other areas of their home such as the kitchen and the bathroom.

In return for 10 hours a week of assistance with cleaning, cooking, shopping or companionship, Homesharers can enjoy rent free accommodation with our homeowners.

Homesharing is a cost-effective way to support adults to live independently in their own homes and provide low cost and well-maintained accommodation for homesharers.
