Unbelievably, as a small independent, volunteer lead charity- entirely reliant on donations in order to serve our local and broader community, 2 horrifically selfish individuals, a man and woman- spotted by a local community member, took it upon themselves to break and enter our building over the weekend & ransacked our offices in search of cash & valuables.

Police have been down and literally dusted for fingerprints & we are putting out an appeal for information.

Cash, Smart Tablets, Jewelry, Smart Phones, Chainsaw, Pressure Washer & more was stolen. If you hear of anyone selling any of these items, or any whispers of who may have been responsible, please don't hesitate let us know.

WHO ROBS A LOCAL CHARITY?!?!?!?!

We only exist to help those in our community most in need. To think of all the potential targets, that someone would single out an organisation who's sole purpose is to bring about positive change for the most vulnerable around us is truly unsettling.

This could have and in fact, very nearly has destroyed us as an organisation, permanently closing our doors, the impact this has had not on just our oganisation but on the individuals we help, can't be understated.

Please contact police or support@families1st.uk with any information that may help investigations.
