We know that many new parents struggle with loneliness and isolation. That's why we're supporting Good Morning Britain in their #1MillionMinutes campaign asking you to pledge your time to help end loneliness. You pledge your minutes to Home-Start on their website 👇

'If Ron wasn't in my life it would have been very different. Very isolating.' Single father Damien was struggling but when Home-Start UK introduced him to volunteer Ron, Damien described it 'as a weight had been lifted'. #1MillionMinutes link.itv.com/1millionminute…

Many new parents experience loneliness & isolation. Read Nabilah's story 👇and find out how her #HomeStartVolunteer made a difference. If you think you could support a mum like Nabilah, volunteer as part of the #1MillionMinutes campaign to end loneliness: home-start.org.uk/1MillionMinutes

Mum Charlotte can't afford meals anymore, instead she survives on her children's leftovers. Here, she shares how the #costoflivingcrisis is affecting her family 👇and how support from Home-Start Cymru has made a difference.

So proud to be part of this important conversation. Many new parents experience loneliness and isolation. But 74% told us they feel less alone thanks to Home-Start. Pledge your time to end loneliness home-start.org.uk/1millionminutes
