Fundraising
First Step is a charity and relies on donations and funding to ensure that we can continue with our valuable services. Without these, we would cease to exist. The impact of Covid has resulted in many of our Fundraising events being cancelled.
Please see below the many ways that you can donate and help us to continue our work with children and Families.
