YTD Raised: £0.00
(UK, 1110638) Home-Start Reading volunteers have been supporting local families going through hard times for over 30 years. Volunteers visit families in the home every week to provide emotional support and practical help. They help parents build their ability to cope with the difficulties they face so that they can provide happier, healthier and safer homes for their children. For the last 25 years, we have also run weekly family support groups in Whitley and Tilehurst. In October we were named Reading Charity of the Year at the Reading Pride Awards. Donations would go towards meeting the ever increasing demands for our service by Reading families, by expanding staff hours so we can recruit, train and supervise more volunteers. Our monitoring data for 2013-14 shows that families have reported that the vast majority of their identified needs had been fully or partly met through Home-Start’s involvement. By supporting Home-Start Reading, you will be making a real difference to some of Reading’s most vulnerable families. It costs just £29 a week to support a family in the home through Home-Start. “She’s been really great: someone to share the three little ones with and to help me; someone to help me get out; someone to confide in and to offer support; someone to listen to you.” A supported Mum about her Volunteer. “Research into Home-Start and other home visiting schemes confirms that they produce benefits for parents and children. Home-Start raises self-confidence, improves social networks, reduces difficult behaviour on the part of the child and improves physical and mental health.” Government report "Every Child Matters".

Bounce Back Foundation
(UK, 1144297) Browse events
YTD Raised: £0.00Bounce Back is a charity and a painting and decorating social enterprise focussed on training and employing ex-offenders. We start in prison where we interview potential participants and work with them up to release when they come and join us. We then train and support them to get all the qualifications needed to work on any site and be self-employed, after which we give them paid employment in our painting and decorating enterprise. We believe fervently that everyone has an ability to change and deserves a second chance. We also seek to change perception. Thanks to the support of many we have thrived. We have been able to buy ‘starter kits’ to equip individuals in their work, a van to get our teams to jobs, and even things as simple as oyster cards and phone cards that are needed to support people when they leave prison. Our objective is to stop re-offending and reduce crime, and we have been successful. Against the national average of 60% re-offending our rate is only 10%. Please help us to do more.
