Thank You MHS Homes!

We are extremely grateful to mhs homes for choosing us as their charity of the year, and raising an incredible £48,000 for our cause!

Your hard work and effort has been phenomenal, and has allowed us to take on another support worker and decrease our waiting list times.

Hear from MHS Homes, when they announced the news:

“2025 has been an incredible year for fundraising.  

Thanks to the generosity and enthusiasm of our colleagues, customers, and partners, we’ve raised an amazing £48,000 for Child’s Vision, our Charity of the Year.  

Child’s Vision is a Kent-based charity dedicated to supporting children who’ve witnessed or been affected by domestic abuse. Their passionate team delivers tailored programs. From one-to-one school support to teen and freedom programs, they’re all designed to empower and help children change their lives. 

Steve Weston, mhs homes multi-trader and charity champion, said: “When we began this journey, I never thought we’d raise this much. It’s been inspiring to see everyone come together for such an important cause.” 

Rachael Hudson, CEO and Founder of Child’s Vision, added: “We’re incredibly grateful for this partnership. This funding doesn’t just support our work today – it sets us up for the next two years. It’s already enabled us to bring another team member on board, which has helped us reduce our waiting lists and reach children more quickly.

“Thanks to this support, we can also look at restarting our training programme, knowing we can cover the essential fees. It’s a transformative boost that will help more children access the vital programmes they need.”

From golf days and dragon boat races to charity football matches and a London-to-Paris bike ride, our teams went above and beyond to raise event penny.  

We’d like to thank everyone who got involved, took on personal challenges, and helped us raise this life-changing amount. We’re proud of the social impact we’ve achieved together, and we know it wouldn’t be possible without the unwavering support. 

Looking ahead to 2026, we’re inviting local Kent charities to apply to become our next Charity of the Year. If you’d like to partner with us, please get in touch!”

We have a background working with those affected by domestic abuse and found that there were not enough resources around to help children.
