WE DID IT! Thanks to the wonderful generosity of the community, we exceeded our target and raised £34,295 in the Big Give Christmas Challenge 2021. Your kindness means we can support more local families going through challenging times, and this is what your help means to some of the families we support:
“I don’t actually know what I would have done without her. She’s the kindest, humblest and most extraordinary person that I’ve ever come across and somehow finds the time to fit us in her life. She’s my friend….. We love her to pieces. Thank you Home-Start for giving us this opportunity to have such an amazing person. Your support and work to help fight for what we deserve will always stay with us but we won’t ever be able to thank you enough. Thank you for changing our lives for the better”
“My volunteer is completely amazing and selfless. Giving her time to spend it with myself and my daughter, and being a listening ear, is something I will be always grateful for. She always remembers things that I’ve told her and takes an interest and that means a lot to me. Thank you so much.”
“A short while after giving birth I signed up to Home-Start for help and support. I was given J, who is amazing. I wouldn’t know where to start, she has been my absolute rock in the past 2 years nearly. She has helped me through good days and bad and I don’t know how I would have got through it without her.”
“K has helped and supported me in so many ways. Because of her I’m more confident as a mummy, she has been my rock I couldn’t thank her enough for what she’s done!”
With many thanks and best wishes for a very Happy Christmas from the
Home-Start Butser team
