Home-Start Medway Trips for the Kids
Social Inclusion
We would like to hire transport to give our families, in particular the children, amazing away days to remember during the summer holiday.
About this cause
Improves lives for children. Home-Start Medway provides a unique service for families, recruiting and training volunteers to support parents with young children (under 5) at home. We provide support to parents in many different situations, such as mental health problems, bereavement, multiple births, loneliness, isolation, illness, disability, and those who are just finding it hard to cope. We also offer Financial Fitness - debt guidance, help with budgeting and income maximisation and run Pop n Play a playgroup, for peer support and group support for families whose home visiting has ended, or just want group support. Additionally we are now supporting Army and ex army families, reducing isolation, access to the local community and volunteering opportunities
How this cause brings people in the community together
Many of our families are on low income, with no transport and therefore access to trips out of the area are a rarity, if non existent. We would love to offer organised trips by coach. The opportunity to spend the day at the seaside buckets and spades provided and a trip to the zoo or wildlife park, with no stress to the families of the cost of the day, just fun memories for the children.
