Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. On 2nd September I will be jumping out of a plane 10,000ft in the air to raise money for The Family Haven. I have got to know the Family Haven through my work as financial adviser.  Since the start of the year Prosser Knowles has been a corporate sponsor to the charity and I have got to know the people that work there and to learn more about the valuable work they do.

The Family Haven strives to help vulnerable families in the Gloucestershire area, the families they help are homeless or living in unsuitable accommodation or stuck in the poverty loop as a result of their social and economic circumstances.

The core aims of the charity are:

• To empower families to take greater responsibility for their own well-being
• To broaden life experiences
• To improve health, including mental health, of parents and children
• To improve opportunities for pre-school children
• To encourage development of new skills for parents and children
• To encourage mutual support among the families
• To improve parenting skills
• To enable parents and children to maintain a nutritious diet.

Here are just some of the ways your support will make a difference:

£10 : Provides art materials for nursery play sessions

£25 : Enables 90 minutes of support for a parent in need

£50 : Gives 25 children a healthy lunch

£250 : Affords transport for a local day trip for our families

More information about the work of the charity can be found on their website: www.thefamilyhaven.com
