Support from local businesses is vital
in helping us make a real difference
B
usinesses play a crucial role in
supporting local communities
and driving positive change. One
such organisation that exemplifies this is
Home-Start Hertfordshire (HSH). They are
a charity dedicated to helping vulnerable
families with young children, who are
overwhelmed and struggling to cope.
HSH hosts a range of fabulous fundraising
events throughout the year, ranging from
community events such as the annual
St Albans Pancake Race, golf events,
stunning themed Gala events and for
those who want to live life on the edge,
there are some challenge events including
a skydive!
These fundraising events are absolutely
essential for HSH who are a predominantly
self-funded organisation. Each year they
need to raise over £400,000 to continue
supporting the 376 families, and their 528
children, referred to their service each
year.

Getting involved with HSH’s fundraising
events could provide you and your
business with a unique opportunity
to give back to the community in a
meaningful way, raising funds, profiles,
and awareness.
There are several ways that your
businesses can support these events;
attend, book a table invite clients, donate
an auction prize or sign up for a challenge,
all of which have the added value of
demonstrating your values and delivering
social value.
CEO Suzy Moody said: The value of
businesses supporting charities cannot be
overstated.
We are known for our events and always
receive fantastic feedback from guests/
attendees; however, none of these events
could be done without the support
and generosity of the local community

and businesses. Working together with
