"The Armed Forces Covenant aims to: 1) the Armed Forces Covenant defines the enduring, general principles that should govern the relationship between the Nation, the Government and the Armed Forces community. 2) It aims to encourage all parties within a community to offer support to the local Armed Forces community and make it easier for Service personnel, families and veterans to access the help and support available from the MOD, from statutory providers and from the Charitable and Voluntary Sector. These organisations already work together in partnership at local level. 3) the scheme is intended to be a two-way arrangement and the Armed Forces community are encouraged to do as much as they can to support their community and promote activity which integrates the Service community into civilian life.

Home-Start in Suffolk provides weekly support visits from trained and experienced volunteers to families, at home or wherever they feel most comfortable, to provide advice and support. Whilst we provide this across the county, (including areas within close proximity of your branches), the demand for the service outstrips the capacity we have to deliver, additional funding would allow us to increase our provision of volunteer led family support, in the areas of most demand (Lowestoft and Ipswich-IP1,2,3) ensuring that we can provide support conducive with a de-escalation of statutory intervention and/or early preventative interventions. The grant would be used to part fund a volunteer recruitment and training coordinator to increase trained volunteers and ensure that our accredited training is delivered in line with our high standards. The difference that our support to families makes is significant; we break cycles of adversity, reduce the likelihood of children passing on their negative experiences to their children and improve the health and wellbeing,a recent full service evaluation found that as result of support from Home-Start Suffolk, families had a 73% reduction in isolation, a 67% improvement in parental self esteem, 73% improvement in developing routines. We expect a continuation of these outcomes.
