Lady Zoe Benyon first patron of Home Start West Berkshire
Zoe Benyon has become the first patron of a charity and support service.
Home Start West Berkshire provides support when families are facing challenges in providing their children the support they need.
This could be either because of financial hardship, isolation or physical or mental health issues.
Lady Benyon, a mother of two sons and three stepsons, has become the first patron of the charity, which was established in 1997.
She said: “I am delighted to be part of Home-Start which has the expertise to help young families through those first steps by giving practical support and knowing when to listen.
“I will be championing our cause at every possible opportunity.”
Director of Home-Start West Berkshire, Grace Green, added: “We are delighted to welcome Zoe as our patron.
“We are sure that her experience as a parent, and her commitment to the role, will be a fantastic support to the charity, enabling us to continue to provide our services to families – which is needed now more than ever before.”
