HOW WE HELP

We reduce the long term effect of poverty on children by equipping them

with the essential items they need for their early years and at school.

​

At First Days we believe all children deserve the same start in life.

​

Children should be safe in their home, and out about.

They should be confident in school.

They should have lots of fun.

We help facilitate that. 

​

We provide everyday essentials to families who need them by distributing school uniforms, new baby essentials, travel items, toiletries, safety equipment, furniture, toys and books. 

4 million children in the UK are living in households whose income falls below the poverty line. This means that, after they've paid for their housing and utilities, they have just £19 per day to live on - for food, clothes, transport, birthdays and every thing else they might need. At First Days we help families at a time of crisis - when they need something for their children and simply cannot afford it.
