Home-Start New Forest, a local charity which supports vulnerable families in and around the New Forest area has been given a much needed boost from Barker-Mill Foundation (BMF) in the form of a £2,500 donation, following a donation of £7,000 donated in 2015.
The charity supports families for a variety of reasons such as: mental health issues, housing difficulties, physical disability, poverty and multiple births. The grant from Barker-Mill Foundation has allowed the charity to continue helping families in the local area – with the money going towards the core funding of the scheme, which is a real necessity for the charity at the moment.
