30 for 30
If your company wishes to make a positive social impact within the community, we can help. Our aim is to give children the best possible start in life. We are a local charity that supports vulnerable and disadvantaged parents with young children through challenging times by providing one-to-one volunteer support. Families are experiencing various issues such as: poor mental health, disability, domestic abuse, bereavement, isolation, multiple birth or family breakdown.
Now in our 30th anniversary year, we would like to find 30 businesses to each support a struggling family by pledging to donate £960. This is the amount it costs us to help a family for 6 months to get back on their feet.
Your support will be making a positive and significant difference to the course of a child’s life. We believe that parents are key to a happy and secure childhood. Are you able to help us?
Your pledge can be made as one donation of £960 or quarterly donations of £240. You can fundraise throughout the year with dress down days, cakes sales, challenges let your imagination run free!
We will never be able to thank you enough for the difference you will make but as a token of appreciation on the family’s behalf we will:
– Add your company logo in our dedicated 30for30 area on our new website with a direct weblink to your site
– Positive coverage across all our social media
– Links to other socially aware businesses
– Invite to the end of year 30for30 campaign event
Family Quotes
“Finding out my child has special needs was a devastating experience. Home-Start gave me fantastic support. Thank you so much.”
“Without the help of the volunteer I don’t think I would have coped. My life has turned right around and now I feel like part of the community.”
“Being stuck at home with twins, one severely disabled, made me feel guilty, like I was letting them down by limiting the experiences they could have. At times the stress drove me to self-harm. We will never forget our Home-Start Volunteer, she genuinely cared for us.”
Quotes from Referrers
