HOME-START EAST SURREY 

Home-Start East Surrey offers support, friendship and practical help to parents with young children in East Surrey and its environs. We recruit and train volunteers who are parents themselves to visit families with at least one child under five at home, and offer them informal, friendly and confidential support.
