Home-Start Elmbridge Home-Start Elmbridge is committed to promoting the welfare of families. We offer practical and emotional support to families who are struggling to cope.

To be there for families when they need us the most because childhood can’t wait. Home-Start Elmbridge recruit and train volunteers to support local parents, in their own homes, with at least one child under the age of 5.

🎂Happy 10th Birthday to the Over 5s Parent Support Café! 🎉

☕️We marked this wonderful milestone at this week’s café at Cromwell Community Centre with tea, a beautiful cake made by Carol, and of course, a raffle.

A huge thank you to our incredible Family Support Coordinator, Carol, and her amazing team of volunteers. For the past 10 years, they have supported local families with kindness and dedication, offering advice, a listening ear, a welcoming space, a comforting cup of tea, and (always!) a slice of cake. 🧁

Their work has made a real difference, creating a place where people feel seen, heard, and supported. Here’s to everything you’ve achieved and many more years to come! 💜

Earlier this week, our wonderful volunteers came together at Lower Green Community Centre for Safeguarding Training.

Alongside delivering Adult Safeguarding Training, Carol and Cathy also reviewed the Sara Sharif Serious Case Review with the group.

This training is a vital part of the work we do at Home-Start Elmbridge, helping us ensure every family we support is safe and well cared for.

💜A huge thank you to our volunteers for approaching challenging topics with such commitment, curiosity and compassion — and to the team at Lower Green for looking after us (especially the delicious cakes!).🧁

We know parenting life can be busy, overwhelming and everything in between.

So here are some really quick and simple things you can do to give yourself a boost this week - what are you going to try?

Mental health is something we will always talk about at Home-Start, it's something we will always strive to help with.

This Mental Health week we're taking a moment to remind ourselves that mental health can affect anyone, especially parents feeling the strain of everyday life. But we know that small actions add up.

Small moments of kindness add up and create change. Sometimes it's as simple as a volunteer sitting with you chatting over a cup of tea. It's a gentle nudge to make it out of the house for the first time in weeks, or months. It's a warm welcome at a group, someone greeting you with a smile and taking you inside.

If you need support, we're here to help.

A huge thank you to the pupils and staff at Esher C of E High School for raising an incredible £762 for Home-Start Elmbridge on their Charity Day in February.

Our Fundraising & Marketing Manager, Elin, visited the school last week to collect the cheque and meet Mr Harris and the Year 10 House Captains.

Your support will make a real difference to local families, thank you from everyone at Home-Start Elmbridge!
