By sharing their
time and friendship, volunteers offer families an opportunity to develop new
relationships, ideas and skills. This usually leads to renewed interest in the
children, an improved response to their needs and greater confidence to avail themselves
of other resources within their community.
The approach varies according to
the needs of each family and draws on the flexibility, good humour and imaginative skills
of the volunteer.
Home-Start
