A big thank you to People’s Partnership for their kind donation of 30 notebooks. 📓

The donation was supported through the CAN/RPD foundation, which connects charities with local businesses to help meet specific needs and bridge the gaps.

It’s a great example of how local businesses and charities can work together to make a practical difference.

Thank you to People’s Partnership for supporting us! 👏

A huge thank you to RiverStone International, who generously sourced, packed and delivered 50 summer holiday activity bags for Home-Start volunteers to distribute to families to enjoy throughout the summer holidays.

Each family received a practical crossbody bag, perfect for keeping essentials safe while out and about over the summer. Inside, the bags were filled with fun activities and resources to help families make the most of the holidays together, including chalk, bubbles, a ball, Play-Doh, a colouring book, crayons, and a printed nature hunt activity.

Thank you!

We recently came together for our annual safeguarding training, with our staff, trustees and volunteers all taking part.

Safeguarding is at the heart of everything we do at Home-Start CHAMS. Keeping our knowledge up to date helps us ensure that every family, child and volunteer we support is safe, heard and protected.

Thank you to everyone who took part and for your continued commitment to making a difference in our community.
