Help please - what's the agency that provides help for parents in difficulty?

[ssd]

Is it surestart or something else.

I'm trying to help someone with twins - newborns - who's finding it v. hard. this person needs help maybe an hour or so a day, please help me with this.

thanks.

sorry, the thread title should end with difficulty

homestart?

Yes it's (Early years) Surestart, don't know much about them but remeber Mars talking about them when a friend of here had twins. have you tryed to Google it?

Homestart in these circs ssd (Surestart does support families but not by sending in volunteers as it were).
Meet-a-Mama provided befriending volunteer support I think too.

MAMA = Meet a MUM, sorry

Maybe TAMBA (the twin and multiple birth support group) might have some suggestions?

yes. i'll google homestart and tamba.

thanks!

Do you want any info on Homestart? I was the Organiser in one of their schemes before ds3 came along

ssd what area perhaps someone with local knowledge might have some more ideas?

Homestart but surestart will point in right direction too.

Renfrewshire piffle.

wish i was nearer to you ssd. i would have offered to help. totally understand how hard it is with twins- mine were 2 last week.

i am in livingston though

thanks jambuttie!

it's someone my mum knows who has the twins, my 2 are aged 4 and 7 so I haven't got experience of twins but I can imagine it's hard work!!

I've told my mum about the agency, I hope the girl with twins phones them and gets a bit of help.

thanks for all your replies!
