Supporting Home-Start Nottingham — Charity of the Year 2025/2026

We are proud to announce that our Charity of the Year for 2025/2026 is Home-Start Nottingham — winners of this year’s “Make a Difference Award”, nominated and voted for by the public, with judges recognising the incredible impact they continue to make within our community.

Over the coming year, we’ll be taking part in a range of fundraising events, awareness campaigns, and community activities to help support the incredible work they do throughout Nottinghamshire.

About Home-Start Nottingham

Home-Start Nottingham is a local charity dedicated to supporting families with young children who may be facing difficult circumstances such as isolation, mental health challenges, financial hardship, bereavement, domestic abuse, or additional parenting pressures.

Their trained staff and volunteers work alongside families to provide compassionate, practical and emotional support tailored to individual needs. Through home visits, family groups, wellbeing activities, and early intervention support, Home-Start Nottingham helps parents build confidence, strengthen relationships, and create happier and more stable home environments for their children.

For many families, Home-Start provides a lifeline during some of the most challenging periods of family life — ensuring parents never feel alone and children have the best possible start in life.

Why It Matters

Every family can face difficulties at some point, and without the right support, challenges can quickly become overwhelming. Home-Start Nottingham plays a vital role in helping families navigate these challenges before they escalate, improving emotional wellbeing, reducing isolation, and supporting healthier outcomes for both parents and children.

Their work not only helps individual families but strengthens the wider community by creating safer, more resilient environments where children can thrive.

By fundraising for Home-Start Nottingham, we’re helping ensure families continue to access the support, guidance, and reassurance they need — when they need it most.
