Transform the lives of families in your community

Home-Start East Lothian is a voluntary organisation committed to promoting the welfare of families with at least one child under the age of five.

Working with families across East Lothian, their approach is as individual as the people they help. Non-judgemental, it offers compassionate and confidential help and support.

They offer full volunteer training to set you on your way including regular ongoing training, support and supervision and volunteer social gatherings.

Volunteers usually visit and support their families for two to three hours each week for around a year.

“I feel like ‘thank you’ is just not enough. What you have done for me and my boys over the last two years has been nothing short of amazing. This has without doubt been the hardest time of my life and it would have been even harder without Home-Start East Lothian’s help.” Joanne, parent

“Better than I hoped – love it, look forward to it.”  Mike, Home-Start volunteer
