Home-Start was featured on ITV1's Tonight program to an audience of five million. It was broadcast at 7.30pm on ITV1 on Thursday 31st March.
 
It is the most watched current affairs show on television at the minute.
 
The program looked at five frontline services that have been affected by local authority cuts and the impact these cuts have had on their work and the people who use the charity.
 
Nick Hurd, minister for the civil society, was also interviewed and questioned on how charities are expected to carry out the government's 'big society' when facing cuts to their funding.
 
Home-Start Blackburn represented us as one of the five featured frontline services.

Amanda Barrass, scheme manager of Home-Start Blackburn was interviewed alongside a Home-Start family that used the Home-Start Blackburn service.

Home-Start Blackburn is one of a number of local Home-Starts who are facing an uncertain financial future.
