Some comments from parents we've supported....

"Given me get up and go - self esteem to get back into the world again."

"The family bonded more"

"Thank you for everything, you were all my rocks"

"Our child got the attention she needed, and I got some much needed rest - thank you so much"

"I was able to talk about anything that was on my mind"

"My daughter has come on in leaps and bounds - the volunteer was just fantastic"

"I could not have coped without Home-Start - it has been invaluable"

"Home-Start is an important organisation, providing valuable services to families and children in the early years"
