Home-Start Lorn

The Home-Start network consists of Home-Start UK and 337 affiliated schemes. Together they form the Home-Start service, delivering one-to-one support, friendship and practical help to young families.

We cover a very large rural area, stretching from the village of Kilmelford south of Oban to Appin in the North and Dalmally to the east. Since 2012 we have been supporting families on the island of Mull. Although often regarded by visitors as an ‘idyllic’ area, Lorn and Mull have the same problems as other towns and cities, but exacerbated by the physical geography e.g. it is not uncommon for a volunteer to have a 40-mile round trip to visit a family.
