Home-Start Lakeland
There for parents when they need us most, because childhood can't wait
Fundraising
Statutory Funding covers only 50% of our annual costs so it is up to us as a charity to raise the other 50% to ensure continuation of our service. During the pandemic Home-Start Lakeland were not able to fundraise in the usual ways. Everyone needs help at some time in their life… so please, help us to make a difference to a child’s life today.
- All money raised or donated is used directly to support families in Co Fermanagh
- As the majority of the work is done by volunteers, we are a very cost effective means of support for families
- Volunteer expenses are high due to the rural nature of our County but £25 covers a volunteer’s expenses for one month
- We cover all areas of Co Fermanagh unlike many other family support services

Home-Start Lakeland is responsible for raising all the funds required to run our family support service. There are various ways in which you can help contribute financially to our charity:

Corporate sponsorship can bring many benefits to a company and even small donations can make a big difference to our scheme. If your company would like to contribute to the work of Home-Start Lakeland we would love to hear from you! We would also be happy to come and speak to your staff about the role we play and how they could help.
