Home-Start Edinburgh West and South West is based in Gorgie and provides support to families across the West and South-West Neighbourhoods of Edinburgh. Our Home-Start scheme (formerly Home Start Edinburgh South Central) was founded in 2000 and has 14 years experience of supporting families and volunteers in the local community. We are a small, friendly team of four part-time staff consisting of a Senior Co-ordinator, Co-ordinator, Family Support Worker and Administrator. We are managed by a dedicated team of trustees who give their time to oversee the development and financial management of the team. Our vision: For our community to be one in which every parent has the support they need to give their children the best possible start in life. Our purpose: Our services include home visits to families and the provision of support groups. Home visits are the core of our service model. We offer Play@Home, Bookbug for the Home, PEEP and Home Safety tools in order to better engage with families in the course of home visits.
