Story

We are raising money for Home Start East Lothian because they have given so much help and support to my family over this last year since our boys arrived.

Every week we have someone come to the house to help me with the triplets. Not only does she help look after the boys but she has also been someone for me to talk to and give me a bit of a break on the hard days. This year has been incredibly difficult for us and without home start it would have been even more challenging.

They also run groups near us that I can take the babies to. It is hard to get out the house with 3 and there’s not many places I can go on my own. But I know when I go to a group run by home start there will always be someone there to help me and allow me to have a hot drink while they play!

They provide support to lots of families in East Lothian and do such a wonderful job at making sure people get the help they need.

About the charity

Many parents need help, friendship and support during the early years. Being a parent isn't always easy. We at Home-Start East Lothian understand this, we recruit and train volunteers to offer support to families with young children. Anyone with an under 5 can ask for free and confidential help..
