Welcome

Home-Start Medway provides a unique service for familes, recruiting and training volunteers to support parents with young children at home.   Currently we supervise and support over 65 volunteers, who help support over 120 families.

Home-Start Medway opened in 1987, 14 years after the original Home-Start began in Leicester. Across the UK, there are over 250 Home-Start schemes. Home-Start Medway is an independent charity which adopts the Constitution and Standards and Methods of Practice of Home-Start UK.

Home-Start Medway is based in Gillingham and covers the whole  Medway area.

We are managed by a Board of Trustees who are from the local community and come from a variety of different backgrounds.

We have strong Partnerships with many local organisations and companies which allows us to utilise local expertise to enhance support for families.

We are funded by Medway Children's Trust and Lloyds TSB Foundation.
