First Days Children’s Charity give choice, restore dignity and empower families who are living with a low income or are experiencing financial hardship. They offer emotional, practical and specialist support via our Family Support Team. They also help families access the support they need from other organisations, (such as Wokingham Foodbank, and Berkshire Women’s Aid) and distribute essential items, such as beds, prams and school uniform, donated to them by the public. The immediate support they give to families via the distribution of essential items is the first building block in longer term support to help families in other areas of their lives.
