Children 1st West Berkshire has a four-bedroom house,
thanks to the generosity of Greenham Common Trust, where young people between the ages of 18 and 21 may live for a period of time. While they are living in the house they will enjoy as much independence as possible coupled with the right balance of emotional and  practical help from the Charity’s workers.

Linked with this committee is WBFCA’s PR. Part of the WBFCA agreement with the Local Authority is that we help with the recruitment of Foster Carers. We have found that the easiest way to do this is alongside
fundraising, as people come to our stall to buy our goods then they look at our advertisements.
