Home-Start Winchester

Home-Start Winchester We provide friendship, emotional and practical help to parents with at least one child under five. Our emphasis is on parents helping parents.

Home-Start Wi******er and Districts is an independent charity working within a twelve mile radius of Wi******er. Our volunteers are all parents and are trained, supported and supervised to Home-Start UK standards. Our aim is to provide early support to families which are experiencing a wide range of difficulties such as isolation, low self-esteem, mental health issues and lack of parenting skills.

We work alongside parents in their homes to help raise their self-confidence and their ability to cope in an increasingly pressured society.

Good communication makes a difference.

We're delighted with our new Home-Start Wi******er & Districts pull-up banners, which help explain who we are, what we do, and how people and business can support local families through volunteering, fundraising and donations.

Whether we're at community events, meetings or fundraising activities, these banners will help us tell our story more clearly and connect with more people who want to make a difference.

A huge thank you to everyone involved in bringing them to life. Sometimes the simplest tools can have the biggest impact.

A lovely evening at the recent Mayor Making ceremony in Wi******er, marking the end of Cllr Sudhakar Achwal’s Wi******er City Council year as Mayor and welcoming Cllr Jamie Scott as the 827th Mayor of Wi******er.

We’d like to say a huge thank you to Sudhakar and his brilliant wife, Vivian, for the warmth, kindness, and support they have shown Home-Start Wi******er & Districts over the past year. Being chosen as one of the Mayor’s charities has meant so much to us, helping raise awareness of the support local families need and the importance of early support before families reach crisis point.

It's been a privilege to share the year alongside fellow charities Trinity Wi******er and Wi******er Action on the Climate Crisis for supporting communities across Wi******er in different but equally important ways.

Pictured are Home-Start Wi******er trustees Chrissie Barlow Robert White and Martin Tomsett with outgoing Mayor Cllr Sudhakar Achwal and Vivian Achwal at the ceremony.

We wish Cllr Jamie Scott every success for the year ahead and look forward to seeing the impact he makes in the city and community he clearly cares so much about. 💜

We can’t change the whole world – but we can change someone’s world
It’s easy to feel powerless when so many of the headlines are out of our control. But small things matter so much, and we can make a big difference.

A little time. A kind gesture. Sharing something positive. Supporting a local family before things reach a crisis point.

Here are three simple ways to support families in our community 💜 ******er
