Empowering families in Cornwall

Home-start Kernow – interceding to cultivate better lives for families in Cornwall.

magine being a new parent in Cornwall. The region, known for its stunning beaches and breath-taking natural landscapes, can paradoxically also feel isolating and lonely, leading to declining mental health among some parents. Here is where Home-Start Kernow steps in, providing vital support to empower these parents, helping them grow in confidence, build support networks and foster meaningful connections.

Home-Start Kernow offers personalised support directly in the family’s home. Specially trained volunteers visit weekly, providing tailored assistance to each family. Additionally, the organisation hosts supportive family groups across Cornwall. These groups offer a welcoming space for parents to meet others, participate in family activities and engage with their children in positive and healthy ways.

With over two decades of experience, Home-Start Kernow understands that parenting is inherently challenging. They acknowledge that sometimes, families need a helping hand. By providing the right support at the earliest possible opportunity, Home-Start Kernow ensures that youngsters across Cornwall thrive and have better futures.

What’s fantastic is that the support offered is always free, ensuring it is accessible to all families regardless of their circumstances. This accessibility is crucial for the many parents who may otherwise be unable to find or afford such valuable assistance.

However, Home-Start Kernow’s ability to provide these essential services depends on the generosity of the community. They urge individuals to support their mission through donations. A one-off or regular contribution can make a significant difference in the lives of families who need it most.

A donation of £5 can provide a healthy snack at one of their family groups. £10 can support an isolated parent to attend a group, fostering vital connections and improving their mental health. £15 can cover the expenses for a volunteer to visit a vulnerable family.

Home-Start Kernow reminds us that childhood cannot wait. To help them in their mission scan their QR code to donate directly, or get in touch to learn more about their impactful work across Cornwall. Your support can help ensure that every child in Cornwall has the opportunity for a brighter future.
