We are on the hunt for a tuff tray, and a sand/water tray. If you have either of these items, and you are willing to donate, we'd be grateful to hear from you. Please email [email protected]. Thank you.

The raffle prizes look absolutely fantastic - a huge thank you to all the local businesses and supporters who have donated such brilliant prizes!

And, of course, thank you to the SkyFest team for choosing to raise funds for Home-Start Butser. Every ticket sold helps us to continue providing vital support for local families.

Good luck to everyone taking part!

🚴 450 miles for Home-Start Butser!

On 2 September, one of our trustees will cycle from Petersfield to La Rochelle in just four days - unsupported and carrying everything he needs!

He’s never ridden more than 100 miles before, so this is a BIG challenge!

He’s funding the challenge himself, meaning every penny donated will help us support local families.

If you can spare a pound or two, please support him here:https://shorturl.at/rwGA8

Good luck Marcus - we’ll be cheering you on every mile! 🚴‍♂️💪

Sort out in September!

This September, have a clear-out of your jewellery box and donate your unwanted gold, silver, watches and costume jewellery to help make a difference to local families with young children.

One of our families is in need of a stair gate. If you have one that you are willing to donate, we would be grateful to hear from you. Please email [email protected].

Little Steps Summer is well underway!

We’re a few weeks into our Little Steps Summer Programme, and it’s been wonderful to see so many little ones getting involved and having fun together!

From getting creative with junk modelling, to enjoying a lovely Teddy Bear Picnic - we’ve already had some fantastic summer sessions!

A big thank you to all the families who have joined us so far. We can’t wait to see what the rest of the summer brings!

It was a real pleasure to meet Councillor Ian Young and share more about the important work we do at Home-Start Butser. Thank you for taking the time to visit us and for your kind words and support!

Visit to Home-Start Butser
It has been a busy period of briefings, meetings and visits in the new role. This has included a visit to Home-Start Butser where I was pleased to meet Scheme Manager Nicola Winter (on right below) and Trustee Dawn Renton (on left) and learn about the first class support being provided to local families in need. Covering Southeast Hampshire, including Horndean and Rowlands Castle, Home-Start Butser provides one-to-one support to young families to help them overcome challenges and build brighter futures. Please support this excellent charity if you can.
