Our Testimonials

“Home-Start Lomond did not give up on my wife. They kept working to find ways to support her and respond to her needs. My tagline for Home-Start Lomond would be ‘Efficient and Effective ’ – I now get far fewer calls at work from my wife upset and in a panic.”

“It’s like having a friend who you can trust and rely on and who has informed advice and suggestions whenever you need them.”
(about 1:2:1 volunteer support)

“It makes such a difference knowing that, after what is undoubtedly going to have been a rough week, I can go to group after the nursery drop-off and just breathe!”
(about attending a Home-Start Lomond group for parents)

“Coming into the kitchen after [my volunteer] has been and seeing only clean dishes! It is such a small thing but it means so much to me! I simply can’t keep on top of the house without her!”

“Home-Start Lomond has helped me become more connected to the wider community, it’s the only place that does a Navy group for Mums and kids and it is very valuable. Having Home-Start Lomond over once a week gives me the break I need and makes coping with my life so much easier, alleviating pressure on both me and my husband.”

“Home-Start Lomond has allowed not only the kids to make friends and broaden their experiences, but also allowed us adults to make friends and have people around us who understand us!”

I have made a great friend through the parents only art group. The friendship we have made in such a short space of time is beautiful and I value it very much….. I don’t make friends or connect with people very easily but I definitely found a good one in my new friend. If it wasn’t for the classes then I’d never have had that safe space to open up and step out of my comfort zone and meet new people.”
