Support and Friendship for Families

Home-Start, Teignbridge was formed 20 years ago and is part of a national charitable organisation of 15000 volunteers who visit families at home each week supporting parents facing difficult situations. Teignbridge Council gives a grant each year to this organisation and I went along to their AGM to hear about the year under review. The Teignbridge Group has 76 volunteeers who supported 282 families last year and some of the case studies highlighted in the Annual Report reflect the hard fact that many families and single parents are struggling just to get through each day and benefit from the visits and group activities available.
