I am always saddened when I am aware of children that have passed through the Family Courts or Care System and attend contact when for what ever reason the parent does not turn up. I want to make this experience less traumatic by providing decent toys books etc. so they can at least have an enjoyable time. The volunteers at these centres do the very best they can but as always money is an issue. Initially I will be starting in the SE England focusing in Essex first but I want this to spread far and wide. I am sure there will be social workers, legal profession and those that have passed through the system that will understand what I am talking about.
I have projects in mind over the coming months and am registering a charity called "Children Come 1st" which will I hope continue to raise awareness and funds. There are 1000's of children abused, distressed and upset during these sad times and whilst most will not be in life threatening positions, some are and children do die through this neglect. If we can only help in a small way that would be brilliant. Please help where you can however small.
