Our home‑visiting volunteers offer one‑to‑one emotional and practical support to parents in the comfort of their own homes. It’s all about building trust, listening without judgement and being a steady, friendly presence during the early years of family life. A time when even small moments of kindness can make a world of difference.
You don’t need to be an expert, just someone who cares, who can listen, who believes in the power of community to help families thrive. We provide all the training and ongoing support you need, and you’ll be matched with a family whose needs and circumstances are right for you.
As a home‑visiting volunteer, you’ll spend 2–3 hours a week supporting a local family. Your visits might include:
Check out the various ways you can support families and children in Renfrewshire and Inverclyde:
Help run warm, weekly groups (from baby groups to peer support) where parents and children can meet, share, and thrive in a safe space.
Use your professional skills to guide the vision, governance, and direction of HSRI, ensuring we can continue delivering meaningful support.
Get involved by running events, asking for sponsorships, or getting local businesses involved to help fuel our mission.
Volunteering with Home‑Start changes lives, for families and volunteers alike.
We’d love to welcome you into our community.
