First Days Children's Charity

First Days was started in 2013 in response to needs in the local community in Berkshire. Quite simply:  there were people with stuff they didn't need and people who desperately needed it. The charity grew very quickly and now, nearly eight years later, we have staff and volunteers and have helped over 10,000 children, and distributed over 250 tonnes of donated goods.

Our aim for the charity is very clear: we want to close our doors because no one needs our service anymore.

However, with 4.5 million children living in poverty in the UK we actually need to do the opposite - we need to boldly transform our service in order to launch a project that has the capacity and capability to help children across the UK.
