Welcome to Home-Start Crawley, Horsham & Mid Sussex

We are a local independent charity offering friendship, advice and practical support to families who live in Crawley, Horsham & Mid Sussex area. We help parents, with a child under 5, discover or rediscover the joy of parenting. We are self funded and governed but work in partnership with Home-Start UK.

Home-Start is one of the leading family support charities in the UK.

At the heart of Home-Start Crawley, Horsham & Mid Sussex’s work is home visiting volunteer support.

Our volunteers help families with young children deal with the challenges they face. We support parents as they learn to cope, improve their confidence and build better lives for their children

Families struggling with post-natal depression, isolation, physical health problems, bereavement and many other issues receive the support of a volunteer who will spend around two hours a week in a family’s home supporting them in the ways they need.
