A message from Tara...

Home-Start is such a special charity.

I don’t think there are many charities that could boast the level of volunteer support that we provide, which can be as high as 70,000+ hours a year. The valuable support we provide makes a measured difference to local families, many of whom need support as a result of an unfortunate twist of fate.

Most people we support tell us they wouldn’t expect to have been in the position they have found themselves in and knowing that someone is committing their precious time, skills and experience to help them, without material compensation, can be enough to help them recognise their own worth and enough to help project them onto a road of empowerment and recovery.

So I would like to say thank you to everyone who has supported Home-Start this year, by attending or volunteering at a fundraising event and helping us to fund the valuable service we provide here in Suffolk. We have put together the first issue of our new supporters magazine to share with you some of our recent activity.

With best wishes

Tara Spence, CEO
