Celebrating Our Long Service Volunteers in East Lancashire| Home-Start in East Lancashire
We’re proud to recognise and celebrate some very special people at Home-Start East Lancashire, our long-service volunteers, who have committed years of their time, compassion, and consistency supporting local families across Burnley, Pendle, Hyndburn, Rossendale, and the Ribble Valley. Their kindness and care have helped parents feel less alone, strengthened families, and given children the best possible start in life. Quite simply, we couldn’t do what we do without them. They are the heart of Home-Start in East Lancashire.
A special mention goes to Linda Strickland, who is marking an incredible 20 years (soon to be 21) of volunteering with us.
