Patron

Miranda Raison

We were delighted when actress Miranda Raison agreed to become a patron for Home-Start in Suffolk. Miranda, who has spent much of her life here in Suffolk and now lives here with her husband and young daughter, was introduced to Home-Start in Suffolk by her neighbour and friend Lady Clare Greenwell, a former volunteer and now ambassador for the charity.

Miranda is well known for her role as Jo Portman in the popular television series Spooks and she will soon be back on our screens playing ‘Nellie Davenport’ in the upcoming HBO series ‘Warrior’ – a series set in the Tong Wars of San Francisco in the 1880’s – airing on Sky One throughout the UK.

Especially interested in highlighting the difficulties that young mothers in Suffolk face, particularly at this difficult and uncertain time, Miranda was asked to share with us why she chose to support our organisation:

“I was inspired to support the charity since experiencing motherhood myself. I am incredibly fortunate, as the mother of a toddler, to have friends and family nearby in Suffolk as a source of constant support but there are many who don’t have such a network around them and I am especially interested in highlighting the difficulties that parents in Suffolk face.

“Although I have only been involved with Home-Start for a short time – I am in awe of the level of commitment and dedication the entire team shows, giving families the support they need and I am truly honoured to support this wonderful organisation.”
