Home-Start West Lothian is a charity offering support, friendship and practical help to parents with young children living in West Lothian. Families with children under five years old can sometimes find life difficult and stressful. We recruit and train volunteers to visit such families in their own homes, usually on a weekly basis, and offer non-judgemental practical and emotional support.  This support helps to build the family’s confidence and ability to cope. Home Start West Lothian is a scheme within Home Start UK – the UK’s largest family support organisation.
