Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I think you all know that I believe Home-Start Aberdeen is an amazing charity that really gets the challenge of parenthood. Here's why I think they are brilliant:- 

Today families living in Aberdeen face more pressures than ever including poverty, poor mental health,social isolation, illness and disability, bereavement, relationship breakdown and parenting skills. 

Our challenge is to respond
to families’ needs and ensure that difficulties and challenges don’t escalate
into crises and family breakdown.

Our solution is
to give families the right support from the right person at the right time. 

 What
happens in a child’s earliest years will affect the rest of their lives. Young
children need nutrition, good health, safety and security, responsive care and
early learning opportunities to support their growth and development. 

Our trained
volunteers work alongside the whole family to make sure that parents have the
skills, knowledge and resources they need to give their children the best
possible start in life.

Our support can be
practical – helping establish routines and boundaries; helping families access
other services; providing socialising opportunities for children and parents.
Or it can be emotional – providing reassurance and encouragement; supporting
parents with mental ill health; helping to improve family relationships.
