On 29 July, Slough Children First held its annual celebration day to celebrate the amazing achievements of our care experienced children and young people over the past year.

With our vision being at the forefront of everything that we do, it was truly wonderful to know that our children and young people are thriving.
‘We see you, we appreciate you, and we are incredibly proud of you’, said Debbie. ‘Everything we do is centred around helping children and young people have the best possible outcomes in life’.
Thank you again to our staff who organised this event and the time and effort they put into this, as well as those who supported.
It was great to see so many people come together and brave the heat, and we hope everyone had a good time.
