VIDEO:Home-Start Havering-a fantastic charity looking for donations to auction and raffle for a charity ball.

Home-Start Havering is fantastic charity that offers vital emotional support, guidance friendship and practical help for families with children under 5 years old. As the cost of living crisis spirals, Home-Start staff are there to pick up the pieces and support the community throughout these challenging times.

Many families are referred to Home-Start due to poverty, isolation, drug and alcohol abuse, domestic abuse, depression and anxiety and many other on going issues. Based in Harold Hill, the staff and their team of volunteers do essential work in our community everyday.

To help them raise much needed funds, a charity ball on the 29 October is being held. The team are looking for donations to either auction or raffle. The ball is being held at The Square in Upminster.
