Homestart support for children and families

Home-Start HOST Limited is a voluntary sector organisation working with large numbers of vulnerable families across the Oldham borough through a Befriending Service which matches vulnerable and at risk families with a child under five with a volunteer supporter. This timely support improves outcomes for families and reduces the need for escalation to Early Help and other high cost services.
