We are all very excited about one of our new groups that we have running for past few weeks.
The Folkestone Young Mums Group is held every Thursday at Home Start's offices at 20 Cheriton Gardens from 1 pm - 3pm. The group offers a free lunch, a chance to meet other mums of similar age, a chance for your little one to play. We will be offering a free creche as well as a bit of mum only time. Mums who refer friends who also have babies get a £10 thank you voucher and regular attendance after a few months is rewarded with free driving lessons. This group is for mums under 20 only.
Call Sam on 07907953327 for more details or just turn up!

An absolute massive congratulations, to Luce for passing her driving test. 🚗
Luce has been attending one of our young parents groups, and has been accessing the driving lessons we provide.
A big thank you, to Luce for letting us share the news, and hopefully an inspiration for other young parents to attend our groups.
If you are a young parent 19 or under and would like to join one of our Kent young parents groups, please get in contact. 💕🍼🚗

Guess what? our first year Target was to have 10 YAPS groups in place within a year and we will have by September 2016 ... With another cheeky 2 groups alongside by the end of that month. Massive thanks to our partners in children's centres, Health, social care and the voluntary sector for making this possible and a big shout out to Claire, Chris and their wonderful team at Kent Creches for providing such high quality Creches every time. Welcoming two new facilitators to the team very soon- very excited to be working with such experienced inspirational women.

It's that time of year where a number of our courses and programmes come to an end. Final Session of our Progress course for volunteers at Home Start Shepway tomorrow. What a set of stars those ladies are. Has been such a privilege to work with them and watch them shine. Will miss them and hope to see them at various training events as brand new volunteers.

Also very excited to be delivering new programmes of work within youth settings in Kent.
