Home-Start Stroud and Gloucester
There for parents when they need us most,
because childhood can't wait
We are deeply committed to our mission and the impact that we have on the lives of the families we support, but we cannot do it alone. We rely entirely on grant funding, donations and fundraising events to raise enough funds each year. Every penny counts! There are a number of ways to support us detailed below and we are deeply grateful for any support you can offer.
Total Giving
With TotalGiving you can donate a one-off amount or set up a recurring donation. You can also fundraise on our behalf (if you are the more adventurous type!). Simply click on the button below for more information.
Easyfundraising
If you already shop online with retailers such as Amazon, M&S, Argos, John Lewis, Comet, Vodafone, eBay, Boden and Play.com, then we need you to sign up for free to raise money while you shop!
Spend £100 with M&S online or Amazon and you raise £2.50 for us. £100 with WH Smith puts £2.00 in our pocket and so on. There’s over 2,000 retailers on their site, and some of the donations can be as much as 15% of your purchase.
