Supporting Homestart Hampshire this Saturday

10 September 2023 Alastair Walton

This Saturday, we will be supporting the work of Home-Start Hampshire through our Charity Awareness Scheme. This scheme raises awareness of local causes, and supports them financially. Even if you just pop in for a coffee, you’ll be doing your part – buying some cake will make it even better!

What do Home-Start Hampshire do?
Being a parent, whatever the situation, can be very challenging. 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 Hampshire can help. Head to home-starthampshire.org.uk to find out more about their work.
