New volunteers at Homestart

HOME-Start Hastings and Rother is really pleased to announce that five more volunteers have completed their volunteering preparation and are now ready to support families in the St Leonards, Hastings and Bexhill area.

Judy Breen, senior organiser at the scheme, said that she will be running another preparation course in the spring.

Her role is to match volunteers with families who will benefit from the individual strengths and personalities of each volunteer.

She said: "We have been working from St Leonards now for more than 21 years and have supported many families, some who go on to volunteer themselves.

"Although we get lots of requests for help we could do with a few more dads to become volunteers and to offer support to other dads who may be the main carer or one parent families."
