A FAMILY support group has extended into the Axe Valley and is looking for volunteers.

Home-Start volunteers visit families at home each week for two to four hours, supporting parents in situations such as isolation, bereavement, multiple births, illness and disability.

Volunteers offer non-judgemental, practical and emotional support and help build the family's confidence and ability to cope - often averting crisis.

All volunteers need to be parents themselves and able to attend a free one week preparation course. The next course will be at the Axminster Youth Centre from Monday to Friday, August 24 to 28, from 9am to 5.30pm.
