What is the 30for30 Campaign?
2025 marks the 30th anniversary of Home-Start Wessex – a remarkable milestone for a charity that has transformed countless lives. To celebrate, the charity is inviting 30 local businesses to each pledge £960, the amount needed to support a family for six months.
The initiative ensures struggling parents receive one-to-one volunteer support tailored to their needs. This can make a life-changing difference for families facing issues such as:
- Poor mental health
- Disability
- Domestic abuse
- Bereavement
- Isolation
- Multiple births
- Family breakdown
As a local business, we believe it’s our responsibility to give back to the community that has supported us over the years. By joining the 30for30 campaign, we’re helping ensure vulnerable families get the help they need, when they need it most.
Why Home-Start Wessex Matters
Home-Start Wessex provides more than just practical assistance – it offers emotional support and hope. Families who have benefitted from the charity’s work share powerful stories of the difference it makes:
“Without the help of the volunteer, I don’t think I would have coped. My life has turned right around and now I feel like part of the community.”
Referrers also recognise the unique value of the service, praising its ability to meet each family’s specific needs rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
Our Commitment
Town & Country’s support will go directly towards helping a family get back on their feet. Whether through financial contribution or awareness-raising, we are committed to standing alongside Home-Start Wessex in their mission to create stronger families and brighter futures.
As part of the campaign, we will:
- Promote Home-Start Wessex through our platforms to help raise awareness
- Participate in fundraising activities throughout the year
- Attend the end-of-year 30for30 celebration event to recognise the impact made
How You Can Get Involved
We encourage other local businesses to join us in supporting this incredible cause. You can pledge as a one-off donation or in instalments, or even fundraise through activities like dress-down days, bake sales, or challenges. Every effort makes a difference.
