To offer a local, quality service we constantly need to raise additional funds. We have been delighted with the support we have received from companies and trusts both locally and nationally.

Home-Start Aberdeen believes that parents play the key role in ensuring children have a happy and secure childhood, but even the most dedicated parents can face challenges that prevent them doing all they want for their children.

Home-Start Aberdeen helps families to achieve their full potential by offering a unique service of friendly, informal and confidential support to parents who are experiencing a variety of difficulty, including: isolation, family crisis, stress and relationship breakdown.

Your donation will make a difference to the lives of families who will benefit from our extended service and support.
