Home-Start Manchester wants to keep you updated on how they are adapting to the current situation and the effects it is having on their service, the families they support and their volunteers.
As the lockdown stretches out in front of us the Home-Start team is starting to consider the longer-term challenges of delivering adapted services. They are about to launch a volunteer-led telephone support service for families on their waiting list, so that post-COVID-19 they are hopefully in a position to be able to accept referrals again.
Whilst over 400 home visits have not been able to take place Home-Start have provided over 250 hours in telephone support and over 70 drop-offs of essential items.
