It was a pleasure to visit Home Start Horizons to see first hand the wonderful work they’re doing supporting parents and children in Leicester.

They have supported over 15,000 families in Leicestershire and Rutland since they were established, ensuring local children have happy secure childhoods. Their staff are qualified and trained in Early Years support and various parenting programmes, mental health support as well as Safeguarding Children and Adults.

One of my top priorities locally and nationally is for our children to have the best start in life, and I’m so proud to see the community in Leicester matching this ambition.
