Story

🚶‍♀️ Walk 25km to Help Families Like Katharine’s

Katharine and her daughters, Millie (14) a Daisy (5), have moved home 19 times—often with just the clothes on their backs. Both girls have autism and special educational needs, and Daisy is immune-suppressed. Their lives have been full of uncertainty, trauma, and disruption.

Then Home-Start stepped in.

Through weekly visits, volunteer Becky supported the family with everything from navigating housing and schools, to helping with vital paperwork, and even standing by them through police statements and serious health issues. Most of all, she gave them the kind of emotional support no service could offer—just a mum helping another mum.

"I am so very grateful to Becky and Home-Start. Becky really did go above and beyond to help our family, and I just cannot thank her enough. She and Home-Start honestly made such a massive difference in our lives.”

As part of our 25th anniversary, we’re walking 25km to raise funds so more local families like Katharine’s can get the support they desperately need. Go to our website for more information on our 25th celebrations www.home-startawa.org.uk
