Bedfordshire Home-start, a children and family Charity – since 1984

All children need adequate physical care, positive well-being, love and attention, and access to play and growth. Home-Start Bedfordshire stands alongside local parents, providing free services that empower families to give young children the best start in life.

Being a parent is not always easy. Life is not always fair. In times of hardship and tragedy, our confidential and non-judgemental services are here to support families in need.

Schoolreaders in Bedfordshire

One in four children leave primary school unable to read to the expected standard - this will limit their future opportunities for life.

 

Schoolreaders recruits, trains and places volunteers into primary schools to provide regular reading support, transforming children's literacy and life chances. It costs just £40 to provide one child with an entire year of weekly one-to-one reading sessions, so we are very grateful for all the support we receive.
