Fundraise for First Love
Help us support local people to access holistic advocacy and expert advocacy in their time of crisis
Fundraise for us!
Fundraising is a crucial source of support for our work in tackling crisis.
Your fundraising efforts can help us transform more lives. Whether it’s a cake bake sale or a hike, it will help struggling households access expert, tailored advice at that critical moment. Such vital, immediate support can help uplift household income, remove any barriers they may face, as we support them to take the first steps towards living independently.

Our manifesto
We believe everyone deserves to be loved. We don’t turn our heads away. We don’t close our eyes. No one should feel desperation. No one should feel unloved and alone. No one should slip through the cracks. We put more than meals in bellies. We put hope in hearts. We put lives back on track. We open eyes and make others feel empathy. We are the bridge between crisis and resilience. We turn fear into confidence. We help people take control of their own lives. We empower them to start living again. Because everyone has the right to be loved.
