Home-Start Horizons

Helping young children and families across Leicestershire & Rutland since 1973

We're here for parents when they need us the most, because childhood won't wait.

Home-Start Horizons is a network of trained volunteers and expert support helping young children and families through their challenging times across Leicestershire and Rutland.

A child’s earliest years make the biggest impact on their future we’re here to make sure those years count – so that no child’s future is limited. 

We support families who have a least one child under five who may be dealing with issues such as:

  • Social isolation
  • Domestic abuse
  • Lone parenting
  • Poverty
  • Illness and disability
  • Post-natal illness
  • Coping with several children under the age of 5

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.

Our community support spans across Leicester, Charnwood, Melton and Rutland, Blaby District, Oadby, and Wigston

Who we are

Home-Start Horizons has a proven, lasting, positive impact on the development of children and the health and welfare of families.

Refer a family

Once a referral is accepted, we arrange an initial visit with the family to discuss their needs and tell them about what support is available to them from Home-Start Horizons.
