I am running the Middlesbrough 10k on September 4th for Home-Start Teesside which offers support along with practical and emotional advice in the homes of families who are having difficulties managing parenting for a variety of different reasons.
Any amount, small or large will make a difference. Thank you for taking the time to read my page and for considering donating and supporting this wonderful charity.
What they need as a charity:
• £20 per child-warm clothing bundles for vulnerable childrenfleeces, slippers, dressing gowns.
• £20 per child to help lone parent to celebrate Birthdays cake/present
• £20 per family to visit a farm or museum
• £1,200 Sponsor the support for a family in crisis to be helped weekly across nine months.
• £100 Family event (8 families/20 children) to enjoy day out/Picnic/beach supported by family support worker.
• £1,000 Crisis pot, we could respond within 24hrs to deprived families in crisis that may need mobile phone data, gas/electric top up voucher, children’s toys/books, or child’s mattress/bed (could support over 30 families in a year)
• £10,000 to run a family support play group across 1 year around 20 to 30 families • £670 to Sponsor our volunteer celebration lunch
• £5.00 a trip to a soft play
The biggest form of support you can give us is to volunteer! Time is the biggest gift; that we give to families to make the biggest difference to children’s lives. “Volunteers are the arm bands for families so they can swim through difficult times” It is priceless the gift of time!
