Community Team volunteers help to support the continuation of vital work by Home-Start Hampshire and it’s team of Family Support volunteers. Community Team group volunteers achieve this by committing to raising awareness of Home-Start Hampshire throughout the New Forest and fundraising to support the sustainability of Home-Start Hampshire.

Home-Start Hampshire is a voluntary organisation committed to promoting the welfare of families with children age 0-11 years. Our core support service offers regular support and help to families under stress either in their own homes or at family groups, helping to prevent family crisis and breakdown. Because childhood can’t wait.

This role has a flexible time commitment to suit you.
