Home-Start York

Home-Start York At Home-Start York, we know that being a parent isn't always easy. Life can bring stress and challenges that get in the way of an enjoyable family time.

To help parents give their children the best start we offer a confidential family support service. We recruit volunteers from all communities and backgrounds in the city to visit families at home during a time in which the family is experiencing difficulties. They offer parents their time and support to help them grow in confidence and increase their ability to cope and build better lives for thei

r children and themselves. Our volunteers are all people who understand the demands of being a parent and bring care, kindness and understanding to their role. The Home-Start approach has a proven, lasting, positive impact on the development of children and the health and well-being of the family. If you would like support or would like to refer someone to Home-Start York, please get in touch.

The Great British Summer Savings scheme is running from 25 June to 1 September 2026, helping families feel a bit less squeezed this summer.

The new scheme includes reduced VAT on days out, including tickets at attractions like soft play, adventure centres and theme parks, children's tickets for theatres and cinemas, and children's meals in restaurants. Children aged 5 to 15 in England will also be able to travel free on local bus services throughout August. Find out more at https://shorturl.at/2TxE7

This is in addition to further support available to families, with more information available at https://costoflivinghelp.campaign.gov.uk/

This week is 💜 An important week to us at Home-Start York that aims to raise awareness of maternal mental health problems throughout pregnancy and beyond.

We’re here to help with non-judgmental support because
