“Watching the mum not able to go outside - it's just a horrible place to be at. You're just looking at your child and thinking ‘maybe you deserve a better parent’. You deserve a loving home, a dad, and a mum capable of taking good care of you.” Happy’s reaction is deeply moving, and shares how the struggle to get out the door can leave families feeling so isolated. With Home-Start Happy found c...

In the film we see a mum staring into a near empty fridge while holding her baby, unsure how she is going to feed herself that day. If only that was an over sensationalised picture, simply to make a point. It isn’t. It doesn’t come close to the true reality facing many families. It’s hard to believe in 2024 parents are skipping meals so their children don’t have to. That families are too scared...
