What Home-Start Garioch does is to work one to one with families.

Our volunteers are people like you who have faced their own challenges as a parent and will listen and support without judging you.

The matched volunteer goes into the family’s home every week on a regular basis offering practical and emotional support. This might include accessing local services in the community.

Volunteers can also be an extra pair of hands to assist with various activities. These include playing with the children, helping with cooking, going on outings to the park, shopping, helping with behaviour and taking time to listen.
