VOLUNTEERS are being sought to work with parents with young children.

HomeStart Teesside helps families with children under the age of five, who are finding it difficult to cope with the problems of everyday life.

HomeStart volunteers work alongside families in their own homes on a regular basis while other volunteers run family support groups in local communities.

A preparation course for volunteers begins next month and will run one day a week for ten weeks.
