Friends of Childhood First

Our Friends

We are enormously grateful to our Friends’ Committees in Kent and Norfolk who volunteer year-round to support the life changing work at our communities.   

They do this by cultivating support from new and existing donors and organising local fundraising events to support special projects in the homes.  Raising awareness locally and broadening our access to local sources of funding are particularly valued and appreciated.
