ABOUT
THE PROJECT
The Worsbrough Family Health Project aims to improve the health
and social and educational opportunities of children growing up in the Worsbrough
area. The project is being delivered by Home-Start Barnsley.
PROJECTS/ACTIVITIES
Home
Start
The project will provide training opportunities for local people
to become Home-Start volunteers. The role of the Home-Start volunteer is to go
into the homes of 'families' under stress and offer them support, information
and advice. Some of the parents who have received support from Home-Start become
trained Home-Start visitors. The training has assisted people to obtain paid employment.
The project also delivers a number of local drop-ins where families can meet other
people with similar experiences along with meeting local service providers. Home-Start
believes that all children need a happy and secure childhood and that parents
play the key role in giving their children a good start in life and helping them
achieve their full potential.
