Following the recent sad announcement regarding the imminent closure of Home-Start Hertfordshire, we would like to reassure our partners, referrers and the families we support that Home-Start Watford, Three Rivers & Hertsmere remains financially secure, well-resourced and fully operational.

 

Home-Start charities operate independently, with each organisation responsible for its own governance, funding and service delivery.

Home-Start Hertfordshire has served families across Broxbourne, Dacorum, East Hertfordshire, North Hertfordshire (excluding Royston), Stevenage, St Albans and Welwyn Hatfield.

 

We would also like to reassure partners that Home-Start Royston, Buntingford & South Cambridgeshire continues to operate as usual and remains available to support families within its area. Further information can be found on their website: https://www.hsrsc.org.uk/.

 

As a local, independent charity, we have worked hard to build a strong and sustainable organisation. Thanks to the continued support of our funders, volunteers, staff, trustees and partners, we are in a positive position and remain focused on meeting the needs of families across our communities.

 

We would be grateful if you could share this update within your teams and networks and continue referring families who may benefit from our support.

 

Thank you for your continued partnership and support. We remain here, ready and able to support families across Watford, Three Rivers and Hertsmere.
