First Words Together is a five week course which supports babies and toddlers with early speech, language and communication. Six families meet each week for six weeks and, as well as receiving guidance, support and lots of ideas from us, receive free books and top tip cards to support the sessions.

As a church we are raising money for the 'Outreach Fund' of the Church, which will be supporting the 0-2 Literacy course together with other local church family projects in Hayle. Your kind donations will enable us to continue to deliver these sessions. We have received training and have been delivering this course for families for the last three years and have absolutely loved getting to know little ones and their carers in this small group setting.

All donations are gratefully received. If you are interested in funding a family for the course, please donate £35 (this funds the five books, top tip cards and certificates which support the course). Any money we raise over the target we will put to new resources for our little ones groups supporting families in the local community or other outreach projects run by Hayle Light and Life.

"Sharing books and interacting through books from when babies are very young supports communication and language development. This universal programme builds parents’ and carers’ awareness and confidence in supporting early communication leading up to babies’ first words."
