Home-Start Horizons is the original Home-Start, a charity created in 1973 that birthed a movement that now spans 22 countries! As the original Home-Start, brain-child of our founder Margaret Harrison, we are proud to have supported tens of thousands of families and children locally. We are a network of expert staff and highly trained volunteers supporting families with young children through their challenging times. We work to reduce Adverse Childhood Experiences and focus on the crucial First 1,001 days, to give children the best start in life.

Our staff are qualified and trained in Early Years support and various parenting programmes, mental health support as well as Safeguarding Children and Adults. We use this expertise to support families so the child’s experience in their formative years is the best it can be.

Home-Start Horizons works with families within our local communities across Leicester, Charnwood, Melton and Rutland, Blaby District, Oadby and Wigston. Starting in the home, our approach is as individual as the people we’re helping. No judgement, it is just compassionate, confidential help and practical support.
