Welcome to HomeStart Craven
HomeStart Craven is a registered charity, part of the Home-Start UK network of federated charities. Home-Start has a long history of providing support for parents and their children through a team of trained volunteers who provide practical and non-judgmental support for families.
HomeStart Craven offers support, friendship and practical help to families with children in the Craven area. Home-Start believes that parents play the key role in giving their children a good start in life, however we recognise that parenting is a challenging and demanding role. We are here to support parents in this key role, and provide the support and friendship they need.
What we do
HomeStart Craven aims to support parents in their parenting role, and in doing so promote the best outcomes for their children and the family as a whole.
Home-start’s approach is to support early intervention, as the early years are seen as the most important years, and every child deserves a good start in order to maximise their future potential.
HomeStart Craven offer both 1:1 volunteer support in the home, tailored to the needs of each individual family, and a range of groups for parents and children under five years old to attend.
By volunteering just a few hours each week you can transform the lives of young children and their parents in your community.
You can help us change a child's life
We believe that the best possible start in life for a child begins at home with their family. A nurturing, loving, stable family and home environment strongly determines a child’s future life chances. Children whose parents are struggling to cope can miss out on the love, routine and support that are vital for their future.

You can help us change a child's life
Each year we have to turn away parents and children because we don’t have the funds to help them all. HomeStart Craven depends heavily on donations from people like you to fund our work with parents and children. Everyone needs help at some time in their life… please help us to make a difference to a child’s life today.
