Family support charity, supporting families because childhood can’t wait #homestart Home-Start Medway provides non-judgemental support to families in Medway who have children under 5. Home-Start Medway offers support, friendship and practical help to parents with young children. We recruit and train volunteers, who are usually parents themselves, to home-visit families who have at least one child under five. Our volunteers offer parents informal, friendly and confidential support. Home-Start Medway supports parents in order to help give children the best possible start in life.
