A Charity has been awarded a £2,000 grant from Gloucestershire County Council to provide training to volunteers.
Home-Start Cotswolds, based at Cirencester Baptist Church, offers practical support and friendship to at least 60 families in the area each year.
They visit parents in their own homes every week to help them through any problems they are facing and to ensure their children are given the best possible start in life.
Volunteers work alongside families who have children under the age of five to improve parenting skills, boost confidence and well-being.

The charity has been awarded the money through the County Council’s growing our communities fund.
