Home-Start Goole & District
This charity has been providing advice and support to families in Goole in the East Riding of Yorkshire for more than 20 years. It recruits and trains volunteers to visit families in their homes and helps with situations such as isolation, bereavement, debt, housing issues and mental illness.
In October 2015, the Allen Lane Foundation awarded a £3,000 grant towards a pilot weekly peer support group for families from the growing migrant communities in the area. The work aims to reduce the isolation of migrant families, help people to access other local services and agencies, and ultimately improve their integration.
