Help Stop Home-Start Flintshire From Closing This September

Hundreds of local children and parents are about to lose the lifeline they depend on. We need your help now. Home-Start Flintshire has supported families through their toughest moments for more than 30 years but without emergency funding, we will be forced to close our doors in September 2026.

This would mean no home visiting support, no family groups, no early intervention and no trusted volunteer by the side of parents who are struggling. We urgently need to raise £250,000 to keep our vital service running. Without it, Home-Start Flintshire will disappear.

What Closure Would Mean

If we close in September:

• Parents facing crisis will have nowhere to turn.
• Children will lose a trusted, consistent adult who helps them feel safe
• Families experiencing isolation, mental health struggles and poverty will be left completely unsupported
• Early intervention work that prevents crisis will stop
• Volunteers with lived experience, the heart of our service, will no longer be able to help the families who need them most

This is not just the loss of a charity.
