MOMO One - An important way that WSCC listens
Our aim is that all children and young people aged 10-18 who are receiving our professional support have the option to use MOMO One to share their views to professionals working with them. How you encourage children and young people to use MOMO One really matters.

Home-Start Arun, Worthing and Adur WINNERS of Sussex Life Award
On Thursday 25 October, Home-Start Arun, Worthing & Adur attended the Sussex Life Awards finals evening at The Grand Hotel, Brighton. The family support charity had made it through to the final three in the ‘Services to the Community’ Award and at 9:30pm it was announced that they had won the category!
The award had been made following a Judge’s visit to see the charity’s work in action and a public vote. Home-Start supports families with young children going through tough times. The charity recruits and trains volunteers with 24/7 parenting experience who are then matched with a family needing support. The charity supports families in their own homes, where parents are struggling with; mental health challenges, ill health, family breakdown or children with challenging behaviours. These challenges have a negative impact on the children as they can not receive the nurturing they require to develop alongside their peers.
Home-Start Manager, Bridget Richardson said, “Our families often don’t meet the tough criteria to receive a statutory service and without our volunteers they would be extremely isolated. Children thrive when parents are able to engage with them and have a fun family life. Sadly, last year we couldn’t support 1 in 5 of the families who were referred to us due to lack of resources. We hope that this award will support our local fundraising to help more Sussex families.”
