Home-Start Wokingham supports ordinary parents going through extraordinary times. Parents can feel exhausted and overwhelmed by the stresses of family life, particularly if we have little support from family and friends when we need it most.
We give support, reassurance and friendship by providing parents with Home visiting Volunteers. We are looking to recruit trustees.
We are interested in people with skills and experience in finance, law, fundraising, marketing and IT to help us increase the number of families we support over the next five years.
