Koala North West

Koala North West exists to provide children and their families with tailored practical and emotional support that improves wellbeing, reduces isolation and supports both children and care-givers to thrive. At Koala North West, the staff team consists of a Chief Executive, Family Support Co-ordinators, Breastfeeding Peer Support Co-ordinators, Group Workers, Community Matters and an Administration Team. We also have two charity shops, one in Claughton and one in Moreton. They in turn are employed by a management committee, all volunteers themselves, with experience in a variety of related areas and a commitment to the aims and ethos of the organisation. 2020 brings our 20th anniversary, and we are celebrating with the re-launch of our organisation under a new brand outside the Home-Start network. We have valued being part of the Home-Start network over the past 20 years, but now it is time for us to move on from Home-Start UK so that we can broaden the scope of our services and geographical reach. FAMILIES ARE OUR FOCUS One of the strengths of our organisation, is the diverse range of services and support programmes we offer to meet the needs of children and their families. Thank you for taking the time to look at our website to find out more about what we do. Home for Koala NW is our complex based in Birkenhead. It is here that our organisation is administrated from and which provides such fantastic facilities, enabling us to deliver a diverse range of services for the benefit of our families. Our facilities consist of an extensive soft play area and sensory room. There is also a parent’s lounge, where parents and carers can relax and meet other families, along with a garden and sheltered outdoor area, which can be enjoyed whatever the weather.
