Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

FONS would like to thank you for taking part in our Crazy Hair Day in aid of local youth and community project, NOMAD Henley.  Throughout the coronavirus pandemic, NOMAD have continued to support those in need in our local community both in terms of physical and mental support as well as providing an amazing 1300 food packages in 2020 alone (up from 419 the previous year). 

Having had such a great first two terms fundraising for school, FONS would like to encourage our Nettlebed children to also think about those in need in our local community.  This is a fun, light-hearted lockdown event but we'd like it to benefit others too.

RCN 1110274
Nomad Youth & Community Project is an active local charity based in Henley on Thames on the border with Berkshire and Buckinghamshire that supports children, young people and families at grassroots level. We provide support for those facing challenging situations in their lives and seek to work collaboratively with other organisations and agencies through delivering positive and individually tailored programmes of support. Interventions are delivered through four keys areas: *Schools Programme, *After School & Holiday Programme, *Family Support Programme and *Community Programme which includes the Food Bank Known for being a picturesque market town famous for its regatta, Henley is one of the more expensive places to live in England, so questions are often asked about the need for such a project? The wealth of the area easily masks the needs leaving many feeling isolated, lonely, and unheard. Nomad endeavours to make a difference through: Valuing people, loving, and accepting them Creating a safe nurturing environment Working together with integrity Putting others first Showing appreciation Encouraging people One young person says: “Honestly I couldn’t put into words how grateful I am to have received support from NOMAD. Such lovely, caring and considerate people”. One mother on receiving a food parcel says “Thank you. The girls get very excited when we receive your food parcel. Really appreciate it and very grateful”.
