I am excited to share that I will be participating in RunThrough’s 5k/10k in Regent’s Park on Sunday, 13th October 2024, to raise vital funds for Home-Start Lambeth. I’m passionate about supporting Home-Start because I believe every child deserves the best start in life.

Home-Start supports families facing challenging times in impactful ways. They walk alongside families, helping parents to get back on their feet during the crucial early years of raising a child. By providing both practical and emotional support, Home-Start helps create an environment where children can thrive. Last year, Home-Start transformed the lives of over 6,500 families and 9,500 children across the capital. With your help, we can ensure that more families receive the support they need.

Your generous donation will go directly to Home-Start families, and every contribution, no matter how big or small, makes a difference. Here’s how you can support:

1. Sponsor My Run: Show your support by sponsoring my run to the finish line. Every donation makes a difference and helps create a lasting impact on the lives of families and children in need.

2. Spread the Word: Help me smash my fundraising target by sharing this page with your friends, family, and colleagues. Share my social posts and keep an eye out for the #LaceUpForLondon hashtag!

3. Join Me on Race Day: I’m going to need all the encouragement I can get, so I’d love to see you on race day! Cheer me on and be part of the excitement. If you’re up for it, consider joining me and the Home-Start team and run alongside us!

I wanted to share with you a report produced by Gingerbread last week about single parent experiences of Universal Credit and the sanctions process.

HS Lambeth are very proud of this report, it shines a light on an issue affecting so many families across the UK and the voices of families HS Lambeth supports feature prominently.

Linked below is also our Annual report

I hope the stories in this report helps you making the decision to donate to Home-Start Lambeth.

Thank you so much,
