Home-Start South Aberdeenshire

We are in the process of updating our website to reflect that we are changing our name from Home-Start Kincardine to Home-Start South Aberdeenshire. We are now prepared to support families living across South Aberdeenshire from Portlethen in the east to Braemar and Strathdon in the west and from Alford south to Laurencekirk and St Cyrus and everywhere in between. All of the references on our website to our previous name and area covered will be updated in due course.

Welcome to Home-Start Kincardine

Home-Start Kincardine is a voluntary organisation committed to promoting the welfare of families with at least one child under five years of age. We’re there for parents when they need us the most, because childhood can’t wait.

Bringing up a young family can be hard sometimes, and you need an extra bit of support. Our volunteers provide free, confidential & non-judgemental support to families in the Kincardine & Mearns area who are experiencing difficulties in their lives.
