About this cause

We provide trained parent volunteers who offer practical and emotional support and friendship to families in our community who are struggling to cope. We are called Home-Start MAJIK because we cover the areas of Mid Argyll, Jura, Islay and Kintyre, as well as all of Cowal and Bute. Our office is based in Kirn, Dunoon and last year we celebrated our 21st birthday. To provide our service we increasingly have to raise essential funding from independent trusts, grant makers, corporate donors and individuals. That is why we are extremely grateful to our local Dunoon Co-op and their members for allowing us the opportunity to raise awareness of the work we do and also raise some much needed funds for our charity. *Please note that all money raised in Cowal will be spent in the Cowal area only*

How this cause brings people in the community together

A child's early years are critical to their future and evidence shows that increased interaction between parents and children aids child development and increases children's self-esteem.This project will support parents to give their children the best possible start in life. Children who have been confidently parented and understand boundaries are more likely to be an asset to the community.
