Today, families in Wandsworth are facing more pressures than ever, and money worries are making parenting harder. Wandsworth has one of the highest rates of mental illness in the UK and is seeing a rise in poverty with 1 in 4 children living below the poverty line. This means that thousands of children in our local community are going hungry and are without a warm home or everyday essentials. Parents are feeling overwhelmed, anxious and isolated.

The impact report shows that Home-Start helps families feel less isolated and more socially connected. Our tailored support has helped parents and children regain quality time with each other, ensuring that parents feel more attuned and involved in their child’s development.

  • 78% of families felt less isolated
  • 88% felt they could manage their children better
  • 83% felt more involved in their child’s development
  • 82% felt their self-esteem had improved

We hope that you enjoy reading our latest report and that it will inspire you to continue supporting us so that more children have a brighter future.
