Home-Start marks 30 years with matched fundraising appeal
By Boroughly editorial — AI-assisted, human-reviewed.
Home-Start Richmond Kingston and Hounslow is celebrating its 30th anniversary with a fundraising campaign that offers matched donations for a limited period.
The charity supports families across the three boroughs who are facing difficulties including isolation, mental health challenges, disability, financial hardship and domestic abuse, providing trained volunteer home visitors who offer friendship and practical help.
As part of its 30 for 30 campaign, Home-Start is aiming to raise £30,000. Thanks to match funding from The Childhood Trust, every donation made before 16 June 2026 will be doubled — meaning the campaign has the potential to reach £60,000 for local children and families. Given the deadline, residents wishing to take advantage of the matched element should act promptly.
The charity says its volunteers have made a tangible difference to families who might otherwise have found themselves without support. With donations doubled, contributions made this week will go twice as far towards funding services for the next three decades.
Donations can be made through the Big Give fundraising platform. Home-Start 30th anniversary appeal
