I am running the Ealing Half Marathon to raise money for Homestart Ealing, a charity my mother has been involved with for many years. Homestart Ealing supports vulnerable families with a child under 5, matching families with a trained volunteer who can visit them in their own home and help navigate life’s difficulties. Homestart’s practical and emotional support is confidential, flexible, and responsive to a families’ needs. Homestart Ealing has provided invaluable support and friendship since 1996 and have had hundreds of positive outcomes for families in the community.
