About the appeal

Home-Start's annual Snowdrop Appeal celebrates the resilience of families we support, and focuses on finding hope and overcoming obstables to a happy, family life. We support families where there are problems which make the child more vulnerable, and where parents needs extra help. Children's childhoods are over before we know it. Families need help now to help them cope with all the challenges that impact on their children's opportunities.

How the funding will be spent
The funding through the Snowdrop Appeal will contribute to the costs of providing all our services for local families. Much of the help is offered by volunteers, parent to parent, bespoke to each family's needs. We need to replace the loss of local authority funding, and now heavily rely on donations and grants to keep going. It costs us about £200,000 a year to deliver our services to around 250 children. That's only £15 a week per child.

How this will benefit the community
We aim to make sure local families are able to build their confidence as parents, work through difficulties they are faciing, and grow their self-worth to become the parents they want to be...and the parent their children need.

Latest update

We have been working consistency throughout the Covid-19 pandemic to help families impacted even more by the circumstances this situation has caused. We have provided our help in different, innovative ways for the very vulnerable children and families on whom our support is focused. We will continue to provide this help into 2021, and, if we have enough funding, aim to develop new projects to help children recover from the detrimental effects of the pandemic on their emotional, physical and cognitive development.
