Today's The Day! This Giving Tuesday, DOUBLE your IMPACT!
DOUBLE your IMPACT! Give someone like Baden a new start
Someone like Baden needs you, right now.
When you give to First Step, you’re helping some of the most vulnerable individuals in Victoria.
And when you give to our Giving Tuesday Appeal, your donation will be MATCHED* by our generous major donor.
Most people who come to First Step have survived childhood traumas such as abuse, neglect and homelessness. They need help across many areas including mental health, physical health, addiction and legal support.
We’re here for people brave enough to reach out for help at their most vulnerable, and survivors like Baden should get all the help they want and need from one team in one place.
“It was not easy”, says Baden, “I knew I needed help, but I just didn’t know how I was going to do it. I just thought, ‘why not rock up to these appointments? It’s going to be better than being in the rooming house.’ So, I just rocked up. I turned up to every appointment. I just kept turning up.”
Baden got through it and has come out the other side, a journey that was only made possible thanks to donations from compassionate people like you.
Please donate to our appeal and join the global spirit of generosity.

All for free. All from one team. All at one site.
