Home-Start Newry and Mourne

Home-Start Newry and Mourne Home Start Newry and Mourne is a local charity which is part of a wider UK net work. In Newry and Mourne last year 110 volunteers supported 359 families.

Home-Start Newry and Mourne is a local family support charity which is part of a national network, that helps parents with at least one child under five to build better lives for their children. Across the UK more than 15,000 Home-Start volunteers visit families at home each week. The volunteers supported parents in situations as diverse as isolation, bereavement, multiple births, illness, disabil

ity, or who were just finding parenting a struggle. They provided non-judgemental practical and emotional support and helped build the family's confidence and ability to cope. Home-Start runs more services and has more volunteers supporting more families than any other family support charity in the UK. Home-Start Newry and Mourne was founded in 1989 and since then has helped thousands of local families. There is no rule book for raising a family, and sometimes it can seem overwhelming, particularly if your family is going through difficult times. But, if you can get support when you need it, then day-to-day family life and your children's future can seem so much brighter.

This week at our Newry Family Groups we had great fun with our Sports Day activities. We had goals, target games, bean bag races and egg & spoon races.
