Being a parent can be lonely, frustrating and overwhelming. The earliest years make a big difference, Home-Start Portsmouth helps to make those years count by being there for families, because childhood can’t wait. Home-Start Portsmouth is a voluntary organisation committed to promoting the welfare of families with children under the age of 5 in the city, by providing emotional and practical support to families with our trained home visiting volunteers, stay and play groups and expert support, helping them through their most challenging times. Volunteers are trained and supported by experienced coordinators who are there to guide and advise them throughout, ensuring each family goes through a journey of support to give them the best start in life.
Gareth was a very proud, loving and hands on dad and grandad to Barney, Florrie, CeCe, Arty and Winnie. Gareth supported Jo (CEO of Home-Start Portsmouth) wholeheartedly and very proudly in her work over the last 26 years with Home-Start Portsmouth. Donations to Home-Start Portsmouth, in loving memory of Gareth, will enable this compassionate and vital charity to reach children and parents in Portsmouth, ensuring more children can have the loving, secure, resilient, fun filled childhood Barney and Florrie received.
