Home Visiting For Vulnerable Families
What is it?
FamilyZone Home Visiting provides support and encouragement for parents and carers who are having difficulties caring for their children or are feeling lonely and isolated. Volunteers build relationships with families needing support to help them become more involved in the community and access other available services and assistance.

The volunteer visits the family home weekly and offers friendship, information and links to community services.
Our volunteers are people who enjoy working with parents or carers and their families.
