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.

The next steps

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.
