Exciting opportunities
It is our 20th anniversary this year, and we are celebrating with the re-launch of our organisation under a new brand outside the Home-Start network. We have valued being part of the Home-Start network over the past 20 years, but now it is time for us to move on from Home-Start UK so that we can broaden the scope of our services and geographical reach.
Families are our focus
One of the strengths of our organisation, is the diverse range of services and support programmes we offer to meet the needs of children and their families. Thank you for taking the time to look at our website to find out more about what we do.
Our values
- TAILORING SUPPORT….All families are different. Every family receives support designed to be most beneficial to them.
- NURTURING POSITIVE WELLBEING….We are commited to improving the emotional, mental and physical wellbeing of children and their care-givers.
- AMBITION….We want our families to thrive; we believe in offering opportunities that help children and families realise their own ambitions and succeed.
- REDUCING ISOLATION….In an increasingly digital age, we want to ensure that families still feel part of a strong, welcoming community, who support one another and ensure they are happy, resilient and thriving.
Our Services
Koala North West believes that every parent should have the support they need in order to give their children the best start in life. Our comprehensive range of services aim to work in partnership with parents by supporting and encouraging them through the difficulties of family life.
Breastfeeding support
If you live on the Wirral and are experiencing problems with breastfeeding your baby, or maybe you are just thinking about breastfeeding or breastmilk feeding, Koala North West are there to offer you advice and support.
Family support
We provide trained Family Support Mentors who can visit you once a week in your own home, offering emotional and practical support. All of our volunteers are parents themselves and have an understanding of the challenges family life can bring.
Complex needs
Children develop and learn from birth, and it is usually parents or carers who offer the love and encouragement to enable them to flourish. Supporting this at the earliest opportunity is even more important for a child with complex needs. Koala provides a number of support groups to help families in this important role.
Group support
Koala North West provide a number of groups, sessions and courses to support parent, carers and children of all families, in a relaxed and friendly environment.
Community matters
Working as a Community Matters partnership, will help to build capacity, develop skills, maximise existing resources with the goal of improving the daily-lived experience of children and families.
Charity shops
Koala North West have two charity shops on the Wirral, one in Claughton Village, the other in Moreton. There is free parking close to each shop, if you want to drop off a donation or browse for a bargain.
