“My volunteer mentor took so much pressure off me. With Home-Start’s support, I was able to re-find the motivation to keep getting up each day, have a shower, get dressed, eat breakfast and leave the house. I felt optimistic again – not overwhelmed.”

Can you help us support families with young children this Christmas? 

Baptcare is proud to launch our special Christmas Giving Appeal to support the volunteers and participants of our Home-Start program in Bendigo, Victoria. 

Home-Start is a deeply transformative program targeted at families with children under the age of five who are experiencing difficulties, including social isolation, mental health challenges and parenting struggles.  

We provide volunteer visiting mentors with lived parenting experience who visit with families, offering them one-on-one support, guidance and friendship.  

Baptcare does not receive government funding for this program – instead, we rely on the generous support of people like you to keep this vital service running and continue to make a meaningful difference.
