Preventing homelessness in Reading

Launchpad is Reading’s leading homelessness prevention charity, providing vital information and support for individuals, couples and families who don’t have a stable place to live or are at risk of losing their home.

With your support and generosity, last year we helped over 1,100 people in housing crisis in Reading to get back on their feet. 

We reduce the long term effect of poverty on children by equipping them with the essential items they need for their early years and at school. We provide everyday essentials to families who need them by distributing school uniforms, new baby essentials, travel items, toiletries, safety equipment, furniture, toys and books.

At First Days we believe all children deserve the same start in life.
