A charity that gives emotional and practical help to families is celebrating 25 years of working in Croydon.
Home-Start Croydon supports more than 100 families every year with its volunteers visiting their homes and offering confidential and non-judgemental support.
And to ensure it can keep helping people it is recruiting new volunteers.
No formal qualifications are needed as full training is given but you do need parenting experience, a non-judgemental attitude and an understanding that sometimes parenting can be difficult.
To volunteer or find out more about the work of the charity, call 020 8667 0207, email contact@croydon-homestart.co.uk or visit croydon-homestart.co.uk
