Helping families since 2001, Home-Start Southport and Formby specialises in preventative support through a combination of home visits, support groups, social events and counselling.
Our support helped the charity’s dedicated and experienced volunteers offer early intervention to support families in need before a crisis point is reached.
Having seen the positive impact on many families, the contribution was put towards to funding essential projects and weekly workshops that targeted the most vulnerable and isolated families.
Karen Cooke, Senior Coordinator at Home-Start Southport and Formby said: “We believe all children need a happy and secure childhood and our aim is to respond to each family’s individual needs.
“The success of our project is based on our generous beneficiaries. By supporting local charities and organisations, David Wilson Homes has made an invaluable contribution to the Southport and Formby community.”
Home-Start supports around 65 families on a weekly basis across Southport and Formby through groups, support work and volunteer visits which help people make positive changes to their lives, and enable them to stand on their own feet again.
Karen continued: “Children’s lives improve immeasurably when their parents feel supported. With the help of David Wilson Homes’ donation, we are able to assist the families in our community who need it the most.”
Gavin Powell, Sales Director at David Wilson Homes North West, said: “We are so pleased to be able to support Home-Start Southport and Formby and the important work it is doing.
“It is important to us as a leading housebuilder to recognise and support local charities and organisations which help the communities near our developments.”
