Home-Start Haringey Hackney and Waltham Forest receives referrals of families in different ways : from professionals, such as GPs, social workers, health visitors or teachers; from community groups; or direct from a parent. If you feel that you would like the support of a Home-Start volunteer, you can contact us directly.
Home-Start Haringey Hackney and Waltham Forest welcomes the referral of any family living in the borough with a child under the age of 12. We can support families who for whatever reason are finding it hard to cope; perhaps because of isolation, the illness or disability of a child, or coping with the demands of a multiple birth. We will carefully match a volunteer to meet the needs of each family.
For more information you can download the following leaflets:
You can download the Referral Form and either return it to us by post or email. Contact details are on the form itself.
A member of our staff will make contact to arrange to meet the referred family, and if our service is accepted, they will be matched with a volunteer. Our support is then reviewed on a regular basis. If the need identified relates to play, the family will be initially supported by the Family Link Play Worker.
