The Best Start project provides a solid foundation for the learning and development of vulnerable young children. We provide early preventative support to families with children under the age of eight by providing respite and positive parenting support.Our Volunteers provide:

  • therapeutic,
  • normalizing and
  • educational play for young children,

and help parents to access local services such as:

  • mother and baby clubs,
  • family centres, and other facilities.

Many of the families on this project have histories of domestic violence, child protection concerns and other complex needs and so require intensive input.
