HiB’s director of people and ESG, Emma Cuggy commented on the partnership achievements: “We are incredibly pleased with our first year working alongside Home-Start UK.

“The engagement and commitment from our team has been extraordinary.

“We look forward to building on this success and making an even greater impact in 2024 and beyond.”

The impact of these efforts has helped fund the recruitment and training of 539 additional Home-Start volunteers through 2023 and 2024.

Each volunteer typically assists six families, which means  over 3,000 families could receive the support they need thanks to funding from HiB.

Talking about the future of the partnership, Emma Cuggy said: “Our team’s passion for making a difference is inspiring.

“We are excited to see how our partnership with Home-Start UK will evolve and continue to make a positive impact on families across the UK.

“Together, we are committed to helping ensure that no child’s potential is limited by their circumstances.”

HiB remains dedicated to its partnership with Home-Start UK and is looking forward to another year of support.

Head of corporate partnerships at Home-Start UK Thea Karavasili-Campbell said: “We are so proud of our partnership with HiB, which has gone from strength to strength.

“It has been fantastic to work with HiB colleagues across the country to ensure that we can support families when they need us most.

“Looking ahead, we are excited about the future of our partnership with HiB.

“We anticipate another fantastic year of collaboration, filled with new opportunities to make a positive impact on the Home-Start communities we support.”
