Home-Start Haringey Hackney and Waltham Forest is a charity which trains volunteers to support local families who are facing difficulties, and who have at least one child under the age of 12. We are part of a national network and believe that parents play the key role in giving their children the best start in life.

We support around 70 Haringey, Hackney and Waltham Forest families by recruiting and training over 40 new volunteers each year. Our staff are experienced in matching volunteers to the needs of each individual family.

Please do have a look at our site where we hope we give you the information you need. If not, please check our FAQs, or contact us, and we’ll be pleased to help you in any way we can.

John Lewis & Waitrose will launch a campaign in November to raise £5 million to help FareShare and Home-Start support struggling families in the UK.

The campaign, launched in response to the current times, which have seen FareShare double the amount of food it provides since the pandemic started, will be complemented by this year's Waitrose and John Lewis Christmas ad.

The retailers are aiming to provide support for at least 100,000 families by raising the funds for FareShare and Home-Start, whilst also shining a light on the long term need for kindness as the impact of the pandemic continues.
