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.
