We are delighted to have received a £1000 grant from White Stuff to fund our weekly group session in Home cafe, giving families the opportunity to meet and connect in a safe, supportive and encouraging environment. We give everyone who attends a hot drink, a healthy freshly cooked lunch and cake, which we all eat together.
We also use this session to provide 1-1 support, advice and signposting from staff and volunteers. Our families tell us how important this session is to them as they feel safe, cared for and part of a community.
“Everyone made me feel very welcome. It’s lovely to see other mums and their children. The lunches are absolutely amazing. My baby gets to know more people, which is lovely and I can have adult conversation. Connect gives me a space where I feel welcome and I feel better about myself.” – Home-Start family
