Story

WE NEED YOUR HELP! We currently have a waiting list of over 70 families, 20 of which have been waiting more than 6 months for support. We need to raise money to recruit more staff and volunteers to support these families.

70 families and 250 children are in need of our help, with many at crisis point. With our support we can help to make sure that the children have the best possible start in life. There is no rulebook for raising a family and sometimes it can seem overwhelming, particularly if your family is going through difficult times. Families may need support for a variety of reasons, we support families dealing with mental or physical health issues, families who are isolated and have no support network, families who are refugees or seeking Asylum, families struggling with the demands of twins, triplets or multiple children under 5, families in a low income household who are struggling to cope. As well as this we are still seeing the huge impact COVID and lockdowns has had on these families. The support we need to give simply cannot wait, so please, support in any way you can and help us to make a difference. Because childhood cant wait.
