Welcome to Home-Start Merton
‘Home-Start Merton is a local community network of trained volunteers and expert support, helping children pre-birth and up to 5 years. We help families through their challenging times. We are there for parents and children when they need us the most
‘BECAUSE CHILDHOOD CAN’T WAIT’.
To Home-Start, every family is special, and we respond to each family’s needs through a combination of home visiting support and social events. Home-Start’s aim is to empower families to enable them to function independently without the need for further intervention.
Help Us Make a Difference
Support Home-Start Merton Today:
At Home-Start Merton, we believe that every child deserves a safe, loving, and stable start in life — and every parent deserves someone to lean on when times get tough. Right now, more families than ever are facing challenges they never expected: isolation, financial strain, mental health struggles, and the pressures of parenting without support. That’s where we come in — but we can’t do it without you.
Your donation helps us:
- Offer home visits and emotional guidance from trained volunteers
- Run group sessions that build confidence, connection, and community
- Deliver practical help when it’s needed most
Whether it’s a one-off gift or a monthly contribution, every pound makes a real impact. Together, we can help families not just survive, but thrive.
