Home-Start Portsmouth is an independent charity responsible for raising all its own funds. Every penny we receive into the charity is used to support families in Portsmouth and really does make a big difference. If you would like to help support our fundraising efforts through a sponsored event, corporate sponsorship or by taking a collection pot for your shop, café or office, please do get in touch to discuss your ideas with us.
