A SCHEME to help young families under stress will be officially launched in Nelson next week.
Home-Start Pendle officially gets under way on Thursday, December 13, with a launch at Nelson Cricket Club.
Special guest speaker will be Margaret Harrison OBE, founder and life president of Home-Start.
The scheme is a voluntary organisation through which volunteers offer regular support, friendship and practical help to young families under stress in their own homes.
The project aims to prevent family crisis and breakdown and to emphasise the pleasures of family life.
There will be a presentation of certificates to the volunteers who successfully completed a ten week course of preparation.
Main sponsors of the project in Pendle are Sure-Start and Pendle Partnership.
