MORE volunteers are needed to give help and support to families with children under the age of five across Teesside.

Home-Start Volunteers give their time to work with people who could be going through difficult periods in their life such as a divorce, suffering from post-natal depression, loneliness or some form of illness.

The work of Home-Start volunteers is very challenging, but many find it rewarding, interesting and varied.

The next volunteer preparation course is at the end of next month and anyone interested is asked to call (01642) 501811.
