Home-Start Worldwide (HSW), is a UK registered charity, that aims to see a world where vulnerable families receive the help they need to give their children a safe and healthy start in life. Founded in 1999, with the support of HSUK to develop the model internationally. We are a membership organisation of independent family support agencies that provide Home-Start services in 22 countries on all five continents. Our role is to support and strengthen members, so they can grow and support more vulnerable families with young children. We do this through providing, start up support, training & developmental advice for trustees, staff and volunteers while, ensuring universal quality standards, and polices such as safeguarding are maintained.
