Home Start Butser supported a record number of families last year - up 25% - through their volunteers and groups in Petersfield, Clanfield and Horndean.

A recent birthday party brought them a surprise, says Nicola Winter, the manager, who tells Mike Waddington about a record breaking year, a new clutch of trained volunteers and the generosity of local people.

The Junior Petersfield Hockey Club collected Easter Eggs for Home Start families, the Lions provided vouchers for meat and the 85th birthday party collected presents for them.

Nicola talks about their groups and new meetings after Easter, and how to get in touch.
