I'm Nahal and I'm BRAND NEW to Home-Start Oxford. I'm looking after the events and fundraising efforts of this incredible charity that is so fantastically aligned with my values: putting families and children at the forefront of community development.

I'm organising our runners this year for the Oxford Half and will be standing at the sidelines taking photos & cheering them on!

Although I'm not yet ready to take the leap and run due to my lack of fitness and running experience, but I am keen to fundraise on this occasion to contribute something from my side to the amazing team of 18 runners.

It MAY or MAY NOT encourage me to do it in a couple of years!! Let's see!

I'm aiming to raise £300 like our runners - any contribution would be much appreciated <3

What do Home-Start Oxford do?

Home-Start Oxford is a charity that provides free, confidential support for families with at least one child under the age of 5 in Oxford, and the centre and west of the county.

Being a parent has never been easy. Regardless of social standing, gender or culture, it can be lonely, frustrating, heart-breaking and over-whelming. Home-Start Oxford helps families through challenges that include mental health issues, illness, disability, autism, multiple births, relationship stress, refugeehood, social and rural isolation, domestic abuse, addiction, debt, trauma and poverty.
