In May 1998
Mary Silkstone, Community Manager of Worsley Community Team (Social Services) set up the original steering group for the Home-Start
Salford Scheme and fought hard to secure fundings. She saw the value of offering Home-Start families friendly support to many
of the cases she dealt with and saw a real need in the community for its services, initially Home-Start areas were Little
Hulton and Farnworth.

|
In December 2005 Home-Start Salford were awarded a 3 year grant
from the Big Lottery to enable the organisation to go City Wide throughout Salford.
|
|
|
|
In June 1998 the scheme
was established with one Organiser and one part-time Secretary, their role was to recruit and train volunteers, networking
with other agencies and secure additional funding for the future of the scheme.

On 30th November 2008 the Big Lottery funding comes to an end. As of 1st December 2008
Home Start Salford employ one Scheme
Co-ordinator and one part-time
Administrator to support families
