Our Campaign – A Place to Belong
Our campaign for this challenge is called ‘A Place to Belong’. The funding received from this campaign will go towards our bigger project of securing our own premises within Herefordshire. At present Marches Family Network receive no local authority funding, and we rely solely on generous donations and sponsors to enable us to operate and provide the vital services we do.
Marches Family Network’s Head Office is a shared space on Holmer Road, and the sessions we provide on a weekly basis are run out of rented spaces, due to not having a designated premises to hold the sessions from.
Often, due to the demand for our services, the space are not large enough to accommodate all of the children and young people under our care, and therefore session attendee numbers are restricted. The locations of our sessions vary week on week, depending on hire availability, and this can be quite unsettling for some of the children/young people who need routine and a familiar place to go.
