Joan helps the helpers
South Oxhey families will benefit from specialist support from Home-Start Watford and Three Rivers thanks to funding from local county councillor Joan King.
Councillor King, of Blairhead Drive, £1,000 from her locality budget to Home-Start Watford and Three Rivers towards client support costs.
Home-Start is a voluntary organisation that is committed to promoting the welfare of families and helping them during time of crisis. Their main aim is to offer practical family support, with well-trained volunteers visiting families on a weekly basis. This support is completely free for the families concerned.
"I am very happy to be able to support this organisation to enable this work to continue to help families here in South Oxhey," said Councillor Joan King.
Joan went on to say, “I would also be pleased to hear from any other organisations on the estate or who directly help residents here, be they young or old, who do valuable work in our community.”
£10,000 is available to each member of Hertfordshire County Council to spend on community projects in their area. The funding is for worthy social, economic or environmental causes.

“Everything you need is there and I would urge local groups reading this article on the website to make an application. I can’t guarantee funding, but I can guarantee I will do my level best for South Oxhey causes,” said Joan
