Two year support from Lloyds TSB Foundation
A large donation to the Guernsey branch of Home-Start has ensured funding for the next two years.
Jurat Margaret Spaargaren, chairwoman of Home-Start Guernsey said: “The Lloyds TSB Foundation funding is a major boost for everyone connected with Home-Start and especially those families we support."
Senior coordinator Jane Le Conte said one of the challenges facing the charity was the fact that there were more families needing support than what it could provide for. She added that finding funding was also a challenge.
It will be Home-Start’s fifth anniversary of volunteer and family pairing this year. It is the second time that the Foundation has given it a donation.

Sharon Pearson from Home-Start Rochdale, said: “I have never seen it this bad in the 11 years I have been working for Home-Start. This is the worst we have ever experienced; families in our community are really struggling and our resources are being over-stretched.
We need more help and we are looking to our local community to support us to help families in their neighbourhoods."
