Home-Start Watford and Three Rivers is proud to be named a finalist in the 2025 SME Hertfordshire Business Awards, recognising the charity’s exceptional impact on families and communities across Watford, Three Rivers and Hertsmere.
The charity supports families with at least one child under five who are facing challenging circumstances such as isolation, low mental health, disability, financial pressures, or domestic abuse. Through compassionate, non-judgemental support delivered by In-House trained volunteers and staff, Home-Start helps parents build confidence and give their children the best possible start in life.
“This recognition is a celebration of our volunteers, staff and the families we support,” said Michaela Foster Osborne, Service Director. “It reflects the dedication of our whole team and their unwavering belief in the power of kindness, early intervention and community support.”
Karen Watkin, Director of Operations, added:
“We’re thrilled to be recognised among so many brilliant organisations. This nomination shines a light on the vital role the voluntary sector plays in strengthening communities. It also affirms what we see every day—that when families are supported early, children thrive.”
The awards ceremony will take place on 18th September at Pendley Manor, Tring, celebrating excellence and enterprise across Hertfordshire.
