Our Values

Our Values and Beliefs

Parents, children, and families are at the core of their own development. Support should be compassionate and stand alongside families to help them flourish.
Every family deserves a safe home, enough income to stay out of poverty, and access to health, care, and welfare. Without these, a family’s ability to thrive is undermined.
Families should have timely access to the right support and a voice in shaping it. Preventative care and early access lead to better long-term wellbeing.

Humour

Being a parent can be lonely, frustrating and overwhelming.

The first three years of childhood are crucial for building the brain’s foundation for learning. Family stress can disrupt parent-child bonding, negatively impacting a child’s intellectual, emotional, social, and psychological development

We believe the earliest years make the biggest difference, and we ensure those years count. A nurturing, loving, and stable home environment is key to a child’s future success. When parents struggle, children can miss out on the love, structure, and support they need to thrive.

“Having a Home-Start volunteer was the miracle that I didn’t know I needed at a very lonely and challenging time in my life.”

Our work is built from four core beliefs about the rights of families

All families should enjoy their fundamental rights without discrimination. Barriers to these rights must be identified and challenged which is why we’re here to help.
