Craven family charity receives Hillards Charitable Trust donation
A family support charity has received a £1,000 donation.
Home-Start Craven, which helps those struggling to cope with the challenges of parenting, was presented with the donation by Hillards Charitable Trust secretary, Helena Wyles, during her visit to Skipton.
Established in 2010, Home-Start Craven offers volunteer-led, one-to-one support to 373 families in their homes.
It also provides more than 1,000 beneficiaries with opportunities to engage in groups that can help them to learn new skills, feel less isolated, improve wellbeing, and build lasting friendships and peer support networks.
Home-Start Craven operates as an early intervention and prevention service, working to reduce the likelihood of needs escalating.
The charity's manager, Julie Moore, expressed gratitude for the grant, stating that it will fund a year's worth of one-to-one volunteer support for six families.
Since its establishment, Hillards Charitable Trust has distributed more than £2 million to charities in areas once served by Hillards Supermarkets.
