Story
A Christmas of Hope
As the festive season approaches, many families in our community are facing the struggle to provide their children with a joyful Christmas. For some, even the most basic necessities are out of reach, leaving them feeling hopeless and alone.
First Days is committed to making a difference. Our 'Christmas Presence' project, in partnership with local charities, brings hope and joy to struggling families.
With your generous support, we're transforming our Elevate Centre into a magical Christmas Grotto, where parents can choose the perfect gifts for their children, because everyone deserves the dignity of choosing the gifts they are going to put under the tree on Christmas morning.
Imagine the delight on a child's face as they open a present they've always dreamed of. Your donation can make that dream a reality.
Some feedback from last year:
I’ve just left your Christmas Shop and I could cry, well, actually I am crying. The volunteers were amazing, the space was filled with Christmas spirit and it made me feel so good. I didn’t feel judged or embarrassed. I can’t believe the generosity and love that poured from everyone. It was all so beautiful. Thank you.
I work but really struggle to make ends meet each week. I came away today from the shop excited (and quite emotional at the generosity and kindness from you all) knowing how happy my children will be.
You can make a difference!
Together, we can ensure that every child in our community experiences the magic of Christmas.
Your donation will help us to:
- Provide gifts for the children who need our support the most
- Create a festive atmosphere for families
- Spread joy and hope throughout our community
Join us in making this a Christmas to remember. Let's come together as a community and show our support for those who need it most
