In light of COVID-19 we at Home-Start Lisburn/Colin have taken the decision to postpone all direct face to face services, including groups and home-visiting.
We will continue by providing telephone, video and email support to our families.
We are still here to help and if you have any concerns please telephone or email us.
Because this situation is changing rapidly we’ll endeavor to update you with any further relevant information.
