Home-Start Royston, Buntingford and South Cambs has welcomed a new team member - Kate - who will drive forward the development of a new family support group.

Kate will work as a coordinator for the family support group in South Cambs.

Home-Start family support groups meet weekly and are a safe space for families supported by the charity to meet, make friends and unwind.

The groups support children's development through activities linked to the Early Years Foundation Stages of learning and development.

They aim to help families feel less isolated, improve peer support networks, and help them feel more confident and connected within their communities.

The groups are run by a trained coordinator and supported by several trained Home-Start volunteers, who have experience and understanding of the challenges parents face.

In February, Home-Start will be running its next volunteer preparation training course and is looking for new volunteers to sign up.

The course is run over seven sessions, and trains and equips volunteers to provide home-visiting and group support to families in our local community.

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, get in touch by visiting the website at www.hsrsc.org.uk, sending an email to admin@hsrsc.org.uk or calling 01763 262262.
