We help struggling families to give children the best start in life
Story
Our family, friends and potentially generous donators...
As an underlying feature of our forth coming race (a half marathon by the way ... 13.1 miles of competition ... 21km of boy vs girl ... ) we are raising money which the winner can claim and donate to Home-Start UK (specifically Merton) thus claiming more than the glory of the win.
Home-Start UK is a charity which supports families who are in need for many reasons including post-natal illness, disability, bereavement, the illness of a parent or child, or social isolation. Parents supporting other parents - to help build a family's confidence and ability to cope.
We appreciate that these emails enter your inbox fairly regularly these days and being late in the year you have most likely done your bit. This is a great charity and you would be giving specifically to a branch of Home-start UK (Merton), so a tangible benefit would be seen where sometimes charitable donations can seemingly go into the abyss.
Also we have 2 weeks to raise a grand (£1000) so please donate!!
Big thanks and we hope to see you in the pub on Sunday 10th October following the race (www.royalparkshalf.com),
Home-Start is a family support charity. We help families who are reaching breaking point because of isolation, bereavement, illness, poverty, and more. Children miss out on the most important years of their life because of family crisis. With Home-Start support, their childhood can start now.
