Home-Start Oxford

Home Start logo

Home-Start Oxford is a voluntary organisation providing free, confidential support for families with at least one child under the age of 5 in Oxford, and the centre and west of the county.

We help ordinary people who are going through extraordinary times.

Being a parent has never been easy. Regardless of social standing, gender or culture, it can be lonely, frustrating, heart-breaking and over-whelming. Everyone needs help sometimes, and with our team of experienced volunteers and staff we provide non-judgmental, compassionate support for parents when they need us most.

There is no such thing as a typical ‘Home-Start family’ and the support we offer is as individual as the families themselves.
