Story

I’m taking on the Dragon Boat Race for Home-Start 💙 And those that know me know, that me and water don't necessarily go together.....

This year, I’m one of 22 paddlers taking part in the Dragon Boat Race to support Home-Start — a local charity that’s just reached an incredible milestone of helping their 10,000th child and family.

Home-Start supports families who are struggling — whether that’s with mental health, isolation, financial pressures, or just the overwhelming reality of parenting. Their volunteers work alongside parents to help them build confidence, feel less alone, and create a safer, happier home for their children.

Right now, more families than ever are facing really tough challenges — and support like this can make all the difference.

My goal is to raise £1000, which will help fund this vital support for families in our community.

If you can, please donate — every contribution, will have a real impact.

And if you can’t donate, sharing this page would help too.
