A FAMILY support charity is taking part in the Big Give’s Christmas Challenge this year, and hopes that borough residents will generously support their ambitious fundraising target.
This week Home-Start Wokingham seeks online donations from the public to support their work with Wokingham families.
If they reach their hoped-for target of £7,500 the figure will be doubled, thanks to fund matching by local business The Growth House.
“We provide compassionate home visiting support for families struggling to cope, due to a range of challenges including poverty, isolation, mental and physical health problems, disability and illness,” said the charity’s fundraising manager, Amy Fennell.
“Having a hand to hold or a shoulder to cry on can make all the difference to parents, getting them through the toughest of times.
“It costs just £30 to provide a family with a few hours of life changing support from one of our trained volunteers.
“We hope everyone will give generously to enable us to carry on the work we all feel so passionately about.”
People can support Home-Start Wokingham’s Big Give challenge online from noon on Tuesday, December 3 until Tuesday, December 10.
