Home-Start Guildford

There for parents when they need us most, because childhood can't wait

Fundraising

There is a huge need in Guildford for Home-Start’s unique service. Surrey’s general reputation as a lovely place to live is well deserved but Guildford borough contains areas of considerable deprivation and many families whose problems of illness or disability are compounded by poverty and poor housing conditions.

We need to raise this year

Home-Start Guildford’s core costs are funded through applications to trusts, foundations and charities . In addition to our core services, we organise a varied programme of events for our families to attend free of charge. These events are paid for through local fundraising and are invaluable to families who would otherwise not be able to afford them. We need around £230K per year to operate. Please visit our About Us page for more information.

Home-Start’s Vision: is a society in which every parent has the support they need to give their children the best possible start in life. With your help this can become a reality.

Home-Start Guildford is responsible for raising all the funds required to run its support services. There are various ways in which you can help contribute financially to our charity:
