Our Services
Our approach is as individual as the people we help
Valued by families and professionals alike
The experience and knowledge gained over the years has made Home-Start Edinburgh a responsive, hard-working group of personnel committed to strengthening the family whatever its shape or size.
During 2019-2020 a total of 181 children and 113 families were supported by Home-Start Edinburgh with referrals from various sources including health visitors, social workers and self-referral.
Home-Start Edinburgh is funded by the City of Edinburgh Council and benefits from the support of a range of companies, trusts, churches and schools, which is always greatly appreciated.
We’re here for you
Home-Start Edinburgh run weekly groups in Edinburgh to complement the core home visiting service: parents and carers can attend the Parents Early Education Partnership (Peep) Groups where they can meet others in similar circumstances and Baby Massage classes which are run in partnership with Dr Bell’s Family Centre.
