Home-Start Wokingham

To all those parents having a difficult day ... remember we are there for you. #difficultday #hereto listen #helpingfamilies

Well done to Team Home-Start Wokingham for running the Wokingham Half Marathon - just past the 4.5 mile marker. Far from the best running conditions with strong winds and light rain.

Massive congratulations to Nick & Jas for running @wokinghamhalf marathon this morning. Well worth it for a photo with the Mayor!! We are so grateful for your efforts to help us help more families. Huge thanks to everyone who sponsored them. It’s not too late. To donate £5 just text WOKINGHAMHALF 5 to 70085. It will cost £5 plus the cost of a std rate msg. #wokingham #fundraising #thankful #helpingfamilies

Anyone else getting fed up with these miserable, grey days? But have you noticed the days are starting to get longer and there was even a glimmer of sunshine yesterday evening. It’s easy to focus on the negatives - we all do it. Try focussing on the small, positive things - a smile, a kindness, a little achievement - and be grateful for them. You might be surprised how much you have to be grateful for. #helpingfamilies #smallkindness #begrateful

Life is about learning and growing. Thanks to @involvevcs charities like ours can learn how to make our work more relevant and impactful. #learning #involvewokingham #helpingotherssucceed

Children play while parents chat at Teresa’s Chat & Play group at Brambles Children’s Centre this morning. #helpingfamilies #learningthroughplay #toolsforlife

Thinking you’d like to do more good? Why not join us and visit a local family for a couple of hours a week. Its amazing what difference a cup of tea and a chat can make to a mum who feels overwhlemed and alone. #helpingothers #doinggood #hardtocope

Valentine’s day is not a happy day for everyone. Parenting can be tough but being a single parent is much much harder. For all the single mums out there, struggling to cope, remember our volunteers are there for you, to give you that friendship and support you need. It costs us £1,000 a year to support one family. To make a donation of just £5 please text LOVEMUMS 5 to 70085. This will cost you £5 plus a std rate msg. Thank you. #toughtimes #singlemums #strugglingtocope

A great opportunity to get some advice without having to go into town.
