Throughout the month of December, The Spring Charity will be vying for your votes — and if they win, they will receive a donation of 20% of our profits for the month from us. It’s our way of supporting great local organisations and giving our community a direct say in who we support. We’re proud to include The Spring Charity in this initiative, and we invite you to learn more about the important work they do, why they deserve your vote, and how your support this December could make a real difference.

Who is The Spring Charity?

The Spring Charity (registered charity no. 1121126) is a community-based charity operating in the Northampton area, specifically in the Castle Ward of Northampton town: the Spring Boroughs, Semilong, St James and The Mounts. Their mission is to support vulnerable families with young children (aged 0-5) and to provide opportunities that improve life outcomes for those facing financial hardship, social or health challenges, or economic disadvantage. 

The Spring Charity aims to support families in the Northampton area by offering activities and facilities that provide care, leisure, and recreation. Their work is centred on improving quality of life and promoting social welfare within the community, with a particular focus on helping those who may be disadvantaged by factors such as youth, age, financial hardship, health challenges, or difficult social or economic circumstances.

What The Spring Charity Does

At its heart, The Spring Charity aims to work with families (primarily those with children aged 0–5) and caregivers in the community to build relationships, provide parenting support, promote healthy living, enable learning and skills, and create a warm, welcoming space where families can engage. According to their website:

• They run “Stay & Play” parent and child drop-in sessions twice a week (during term-time and extended school holidays). These sessions help the charity to build contact and relationships with families so they can better meet individual needs.
   
• They support parents and caregivers to access things like college courses, English & Maths classes, parenting programmes, breastfeeding advice, healthy eating workshops and more.
   
• They provide a “community warm space” and healthy-living initiatives: for example, cookery classes in a teaching kitchen, with families taking home ingredients and recipe cards, encouraging them to replicate dishes at home and reduce energy costs by using air-fryers or slow-cookers.
   
• They respond to family feedback and are (“service-user led”) shaped by what parents tell them: for example a ‘Present Pick Appeal’ where 418 children received Christmas presents in December 2024 because the charity had heard that families were struggling with the cost of presents.
   
• They work in one of the UK’s more deprived wards (Castle Ward) where many families face multiple hardships. Using their drop-in sessions and community services they aim to reduce isolation, tackle food poverty, and increase wellbeing.
   

In short, The Spring Charity offers a holistic community-centred approach — reaching beyond traditional childcare or playgroups, instead combining parenting support, early years education links, healthy cooking and living, drop-in social spaces, and referral pathways for families facing a range of challenges.

Why The Spring Charity Matters

Working with very young children and their families at a critical period gives The Spring Charity the potential for long-term impact. By engaging children aged 0–5, and their parents or caregivers, they are investing in early years, which research shows is a pivotal stage for life outcomes. The fact that they are operating in a higher-need area (Castle Ward) adds to the urgency and potential value of their work.

Their community drop-in sessions build trust, relationships and early access. Offering healthy eating workshops, giving families cooking lessons and equipment to help reduce energy costs, and responding directly to family-identified needs (like the Present Pick appeal) all show a responsiveness and rootedness in the community that is often vital for effective grassroots charities.

For The Spring Charity, being part of this poll presents a special opportunity. If they win, the donation could help them to expand key services, purchase additional equipment (e.g., more teaching-kitchen items, more cooking class resource packs), extend warm-space hours, fund additional parenting workshops or cover costs for referral services. It could also allow them to boost their ‘Stay & Play’ drop-in sessions or reach more families who are currently waiting or under-supported.

What the Donation Could Support

If The Spring Charity wins and receives the 20%-of-profits donation, there are a number of ways that money could be used to great effect:

• Expand drop-in sessions: Additional funding could enable extra weekly sessions (e.g., during school holidays) for Stay & Play or additional age groups, helping more children aged 0–5 and their caregivers to engage.
   
• Enhanced kitchen and healthy-living resources: More cooking classes, more equipment (cookers, air-fryers, slow-cookers), ingredient packs for families to take home, enabling families to eat healthier and manage household costs more effectively—as the charity already does.
   
• Warm-space outreach and food-poverty initiatives: The donation could bolster the community warm space initiative and enable additional resources to address food-insecurity, isolation and cost-of-living pressures in the area.
   
• Parenting and skills support for families: More capacity for parenting programmes, English/Maths referrals, adult learning and caregiver education, which The Spring Charity already supports, would help boost long-term outcomes for both parents and children.
   
• Volunteer training and safeguarding: With more resources, the charity could recruit and train additional volunteers (DBS checked), extend support staff capacity, and enable more thorough safeguarding and support frameworks—ensuring the high quality of their services continues.

In short, this is not simply a one-off help but could be a strategic boost to deepen and widen the charity’s reach and impact during the coming year.
