We have received the fantastic news that our Home-Start West Somerset bid to the HPC Community Cohesion fund has been successful.

We would like to say a big thank you to all the people who wrote letters of support, completed survey forms or filled out detailed questionnaires about our service. For many this would have taken much thought and time because responses were so detailed.

Well over 100 pieces of information were gathered in this way and helped tell the story of Home-Start West Somerset’s current work, explaining the need for us to develop our family support in Stogursey, Watchet, Williton and other villages in eastern West Somerset.

As part of our work, Home-Start West Somerset recruits and trains volunteers to support families with young children. For more information about our award-winning volunteer team, or to join our next training course starting in October, phone 01643 707304 or email [email protected].
