As of today, we're no longer using this account. You can get all the information about contacting us in other ways, here: home-startwestberks.org.uk

We're leaving X. You’ll still find us over on our other social channels, where you can contact us for help, support and information. Thank you for your support over the years – it’s been a pleasure to talk to and share with you on here.

Today is Buy Nothing Day! But why not go even further and donate what you might have spent on a coffee or new clothes, to make a difference to local families in need. We rely on donations and volunteers and appreciate every penny. localgiving.org/charity/home-s…

Almost one month ago @renegad3brew held their fireworks spectacular event. They also had the wonderful idea of donating £1 from every beer bought to us, raising a fantastic £673! If you’d like to fundraise for us, please get in touch on office@home-startwb.org.uk

Today is #WorldHelloDay! So, we wanted to say hello to all of our wonderful volunteers, team members, supporters and families. We hope you have a lovely day. If you’d like to join our #HomeStartVolunteer team, email us on office@homestartwb.org.uk

Thanks to everyone who dropped a note or some change from the bar into our fundraising tins at @NewburyRacing’s Oktoberfest last month. You helped us raise £1000 to support more local families, and hopefully had a fantastic day to boot!

Fancy taking home a PS5 Pro Bundle or £1,000 cash in this month’s @WestBerksLotto Super Draw? On Sat 9 November you could be the winner of this very exciting prize in time for Christmas, and support us too! westberkshirelottery.co.uk/support/home-s…

Pleased to share that we were shortlisted in the Young People Charity of the Year category at @Greenham_Trust Awards. The awards are a fantastic chance to showcase all the work that charities do to support people, and a chance to say thank you to everyone who supports us!

We know fireworks night was earlier in the week, but we couldn't resist sharing some of the lovely creations from our family groups!

A big thank you to Brockhurst & Marston House for their fantastic and very generous harvest festival donations. These have all been delivered to some very grateful Home-Start families. Thank you to everyone involved and those who donated.

We hope you have fun at any Bonfire Night events you’re attending tonight (or had fun at the weekend if you’ve already been!) As it’s half term, here are some fireworks crafts to keep little ones busy: coventryrocks.co.uk/guides/firewor…

November is here and with it comes a reminder to book your tickets for our Charity Ball on 23rd Nov at @NewburyRacing. Join us for a three-course dinner and live music and help raise money for family support. tickettailor.com/events/homesta…

Happy Diwali! We wanted to share some of the lovely creations made in our Family Groups this week. These groups are a fantastic provision for local families, which children and adults alike look forward to. Grateful to our volunteers for making these sessions happen.

We hope everyone is ready for a fang-tastic Halloween? For tips to stay safe while getting ready or out trick-or-treating, visit capt.org.uk/halloween/ Have a safe and spooktacular time!

Please give a warm welcome to our new #HomeStartVolunteers. If you’d like to join them, or chat about volunteering with us, we’d love to hear from you. office@homestartwb.org.uk, 01635 760310.

Don't miss out on tickets for our Charity Ball at @NewburyRacing on 23rd November. It promises to be a fantastic night once again! Find out more and get your tickets here: tickettailor.com/events/homesta…

This Saturday, @NewburyRacing will transform with oompah bands and lederhosen for its Oktoberfest event. We’ll be there as the event’s chosen charity, so any spare change from those beers and bratwurst can be put to good use! More info and tickets here: bit.ly/4exdayM

@currys No resolution to this posted September! Rubbish response to our complaint. After falling victim to a scam, our Charity expects better support from a trusted retailer like you. We shouldn’t be left struggling to recover funds #CustomerService #DoBetter
