The cost-of-living crisis is a disaster for millions of families with young children and we need you to support our Cost-of-Living Crisis appeal today so Home-Start can provide families with compassionate, non-judgemental support, because childhood can’t wait for the economy to recover.

We are supporting our families by giving them food vouchers, using local charities like Buttons and Bows Baby Bank and Social Flock to get them warm clothes and items they need and asking for donations to our just giving fund to help with emergency payments for heating and food.

“We’re now coming to the last two weeks of the month and we’ve no money left. I’ve counted out Layla’s nappies and I’m hoping we have enough to see us, until I can get some more.”

After years of pressure, many families are already at breaking point and we are worried this will push them further into crisis.

Parents have told us how they are worried because they can’t afford to heat their homes, and are missing meals so they can buy nappies and food for their babies. Please give whatever you can, even a small amount will make a huge difference in preventing the suffering facing families this winter.

But we can’t do this without your support.
