Home-Start Chichester & District (HSCD) is pleased to welcome Her Grace, the Duchess of Richmond as Patron of the early years focused charity.
Her Grace commented: “I am delighted to be the patron of Home Start Chichester & District, a charity whose work I have admired for many years. As a parent and counsellor, I am very aware of the many challenges young families face in this busy and complex world. Support such as that offered by Home-Start has never been more important or urgent. As we know, childhood can't wait.
Her Grace recently met staff members, Trustees, volunteers and others who support and work with HSCD at its annual review meeting. Lois Rowlands, Manager remarked: “This is wonderful news for our charity and we enjoyed welcoming Her Grace at our Together for Families event. I am sure she will be an excellent ambassador for the work we do and will prove invaluable in helping raise awareness of the support we provide to families across Chichester District.”
The Duchess of Richmond is active in running the Goodwood Estate and is also the former President of Winston's Wish (now Child Bereavement UK).
