A local organisation providing support for young families received a welcome boost this month.

Peter Lathom’s charity trustee, Adrian Owens called into HomeStart’s weekly drop-in session for parents and toddlers at West End school and presented a cheque for £970 to Ruth Melling, with the funds helping to maintain the popular sessions.

Adrian told QLocal: “I first visited these sessions four years ago and it was great to see some familiar faces there with younger brothers and sisters of the children I first met.”

Peter Lathom’s charity provides grants to individuals in particular need and to local groups working with those in need - for further details contact Brighouse Wolff solicitors who act as clerks for charity.
