Karen & Josh's fundraiser for Home-Start Butser

Karen Turnbull is raising money for Home-Start Butser

Climbing the sky-high summit of Mount Toubkal, Morocco. · 14 May 2026

Being a parent can be very challenging, especially when children are young. Many parents feel exhausted and overwhelmed by the stresses of family life. For some parents it’s a particular struggle because they are also coping with issues such as post-natal depression, their or their child’s illness or disability, isolation or multiple births. That’s when parents need support. That’s when Home-Start Butser can help. A carefully selected volunteer, who has parenting experience, can visit regularly and offer emotional and practical support. This friendly parent-to-parent support is a simple yet effective way of enabling families to get back on track.

Story

Hi, I'm a volunteer and trustee for the Home-Start Butser.

I see firsthand, how the charity makes a difference when it counts to local families with young children. If you've been a parent, you know it can be lonely, isolating and overwhelming at times. We at home start can offer vital support when it's needed most. Home-Start Butser is fully self funded, so I'm asking for your help.

My son and I love a challenge and this year we will climb the Atlas mountains in Morocco. We will climb the sky high summit of Mount Toubkal, track through the Narrow Red Rock corridors of Todra Gorge and immerse ourselves in the culture of the Mountain people.

As this will be intensely challenging, we are using it as an opportunity to raise money for the amazing charity. Please donate generously as every step we take will be helping a local child.
