Home-Start B'Ham

We're going to be a little quiet on here for the foreseeable future. For more detailed info on what we are up to, please give us a follow on LinkedIn. linkedin.com/company/home-s…

Want to use your profressional skills to help support a local family support charity? Want to make a difference to the lives of local parents and their children? Then we'd love to hear from you! #trusteesneeded #volunteerforus #trustees

When it comes to professional volunteering, many people face barriers. Instead, think of our training as a preparation course, preparing you to meet your family, where you'll be providing a shoulder to cry on, a listening ear and a practical pair of hands. #volunteerforus

Our Home-Start B'Ham North and Inner City held a #cultureday celebrating the diversity of our families with a sharing of food.

Today is the start of #InfantMentalHealthAwarenessWeek An important week to us at Home-Start Birmingham, that aims to raise awareness of infant mental health and the importance of early intervention support. #IMHAW2025 #MentalHealthMatters #InfantMentalHealth

It's #VolunteersWeek and it's another opportunity to celebrate our wonderful volunteers and find out what makes them #volunteer for us.

We're here for all families... Proud to support #pridemonth2025

A huge shout out to all of our wonderful volunteers across Birmingham. Making life- changing differences every single day. #VolunteersWeek2025

It's the end of #MaternalMentalHealthWeek and we'd like to give a shout out to our incredible volunteers who make a difference to mums every day. "I was sinking and not swimming and I felt so alone. Home-Start was my beacon and I will never, ever forget what they did for me."

We are delighted that we were able to support the @guardian with this hugely important piece, providing both a Home-Start spokesperson and a family that we support. No child should spend their childhood growing in hotels and B&Bs. theguardian.com/society/2025/a…

We were approached to share our views and comments for an article in The Pensioner Magazine, highlighting the drop in retired people volunteering, and the reasons why. This was a joint response between our colleagues in Birmingham and Greater Manchester Home-Starts.

A huge congrats to our recently trained volunteers at our Home-Start B'ham Tameside! We'd also like to say a massive thank you to our long-serving volunteer, Claudette who is sadly leaving us after 13 years of supporting local families. You will be missed!

To all of the women who make Home-Start the life-changing charity that it is for so many local families. #InternationalWomensDay we couldn't do it without you!

Child poverty at an all time high. Poor parental mental health at an all time high, the housing crisis, also at an all time high. Families in Birmingham are living in crisis, and this is where we step in. You can find many ways in which you can support us homestartbirmingham.co.uk/supportus/

Honored to join a child poverty focus group with @HomeStartBham, @Alison_McGovern, @RichParkerLab together with other stalwarts working hard to improve lives in Birmingham. The most powerful voices in the room - the parents sharing their lived experiences!

Feedback on our recent volunteer training "I liked the opportunity of meeting current volunteers." "I liked the interative activities, rather than just being talked out." "All of the coordinators are really approachable and positive." Feel inspired? hsts.org.uk/volunteer
