Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Home-Start Oldham, Stockport & Tameside supports over 3,000 families each year, helping parents to give their children the best possible start in life.  For some, this means helping them with breastfeeding, for others it's supporting parents to encourage their child's learning and development and for a significant number of families our support is the difference between a family being able to cope or falling apart.  We work with parents with a real range of support needs, often supporting those in poverty, who are socially isolated or lonely, those with mental health issues or who are just feeling overwhelmed by all the challenges life has thrown at them.  Coping in the early years after having a child is challenging at the best of times but if you have a range of issues that you need to deal with on top of that then the helping hand of one of our fabulous volunteers can make a world of difference.

I am not much of a runner - yoga is much more my thing! - but will be out there on the 19th with other HOST staff and volunteers doing what we can so any support is greatly appreciated.
