Mental Health

Home-Start Essex 

Their ‘Moving on up Together’ weekly group primarily supports children, young people and their families, however their work also supports parents who may be socially isolated, struggling with low self-esteem or mental health issues. Volunteers provide a free crèche so parents can have a private and confidential group discussion around the issues and any anxieties they are struggling with.

A grant from us enabled them to develop school readiness packs for children and provide online support to families isolated in their homes during the COVID-19 pandemic.
