New Homestart Tameside Family group
9 April 2008, at St Rafaels Millbrook
Homestart is a national charity which is now Tameside wide. Our role is
to recruit and train volunteers, who then support families who have at
least one child under five by visiting for 2-3 hours per week in the
families home. All our volunteers have been parents themselves. They
undertake a ten week preparation training course and are fully police
checked.
At St Rafaels in Millbrook, starting on 9 April, Homestart are running
their first ever group, a ten week course for families, which will run
every Wednesday afternoon after Easter between 1pm - 3pm. All families
in the area with a child under five are welcome to come along.
We will have guest speakers coming in to talk to our parents on subjects
like positive parenting, healthy eating, oral health, Childrens
information service, the fire and police talking about personal safety
and safety in the home, MINT who will talk on budgeting and benefits....
and best of all, a pampering session for mums towards the end as a
treat!
Volunteers will be helping to organise different activities each week
for the children. The group will be completely free, and will include
light refreshments, it is hoped that families will find it a supportive
environment where they can meet other parents in the area. For further
information please contact, Victoria Howarth or Denise Farrow, Homestart
