Sponsor a Brave Bear

When a child from Jersey needs medical treatment in the UK, their family faces a journey that is often overwhelming and deeply emotional. Since 2018, Family First has provided a dedicated Family Support Service to help families navigate this difficult time, ensuring they never face it alone.

Every child we support receives a Brave Bear to take with them to hospital, and we make sure their siblings receive one too. These small bears bring comfort, courage and a reminder that Family First is right there beside them.

Just £5 provides one Brave Bear to a child

Your support goes far beyond the bear itself:

£10 per month funds specialist emotional support books from our library for parents and children

£50 Enables us to provide a Family Support Worker to be there for a family, when they need support with accommodation and expenses whilst their child is in a UK hospital

Together, we can make sure no family faces this journey alone. Every donation — big or small — helps Family First be there when families need us most.

Thank you
