Funding Boost from Nottinghamshire County Council’s Local Communities Fund

We’re delighted to announce that we’ve been awarded funding support through Nottinghamshire County Council’s Local Communities Fund scheme.

The grant commitment over the next two years provides vital core stability for our charity, enabling us to sustain and deliver crucial family support services across the Newark & Sherwood district.

For over 41 years, Home-Start Newark has stood alongside parents facing challenging circumstances. Through our dedicated team of trained parent volunteers, our Family Group sessions, and targeted community initiatives, we offer compassionate, non-judgmental support to ensure every child gets the best possible start in life.

This funding safeguard allows us to continue providing continuous support for families with children under five, including expanded outreach in underserved communities such as Ollerton, Boughton, and Bilsthorpe.

"We are immensely grateful to Nottinghamshire County Council for recognising the vital role Home-Start Newark plays in our community," said Sara Grant, Manager at Home-Start Newark. "This two-year funding commitment ensures we can remain financially resilient and maintain our regular home-visiting services and groups, giving local parents the strength, confidence, and tools they need to nurture their young children."
