Our pantry is looking a little bare!

We’re reaching out to our beautiful community for help replenishing our pantry supplies at First Steps.

If you’re able to add a few extra items to your next grocery shop, we would be so grateful!

Items we particularly need:

✨ Lunchbox snacks

✨ Rice

✨ Pasta

✨ Other long-life pantry staples

Every donation, big or small, makes a difference in supporting our First Steps Mums and their families 🩷

Thank you for continuing to show up for our community and helping us care for the families who come through our doors. We appreciate you more than you know! 🫶

First Steps Birthing is back by popular demand with our only course of 2026!! Registrations are now open. https://www.fsps.org.au/events/first-steps-birthing

If you are looking for a comprehensive birthing course before the end of the year to help you feel prepared for birth and the early days of parenting then this one is for you! Particularly tailored for women who want to be well informed about their options and develop a good understanding of what different things may happen as they approach and then experience labour, types of births and what the early days may look like.

This course is run by a truly multi-disciplinary team including a GP Obstetrician, Physio specialising in Women's Health, Midwife/Lactation Consultant, Maternal Child Health Nurse and a Primary School Teacher with insight into the most important things a child needs to experience in the early days to prepare them for a life of learning. There is no other course quite like First Steps Birthing in the Canberra/Queanbeyan Region.

If you are due in the next few months, we would love for you to join us. See our website for full course details.

Our window is being fixed this week and because of this, playgroup, pilates and the Baby Boutique will not be happening.

Thanks so much for your understanding! We’ll keep you updated and let you know if we’re back up and running next week 🥰

Young motherhood can come with plenty of assumptions and stereotypes, but we see every day the courage, strength and determination of young mums.

We loved this beautiful short film, Reimagining Young Parenthood, created alongside young parents through the Young Mothers Transition Program.

At First Steps, we feel so privileged to support young mums as they navigate motherhood, pursue their goals and build a future for themselves and their children.

We’re so grateful to organisations like South East LLEN and the Australian Young Pregnant & Parenting Network for advocating for young parents and sharing their stories.

We’re currently quite short on breast pumps and would love to hear from anyone who has a Spectra breast pump they no longer need and would be willing to donate.

Our pumps are provided to local mums who need a little extra support on their breastfeeding journey, and your donation could make such a meaningful difference.

If you have a Spectra pump you’d like to donate, please send us a message or get in touch with the First Steps team.

Thank you, as always, for supporting local mums and babies 🩷

THANK YOU! We are feeling incredibly grateful for the generosity of our community 🩷

Following our recent call-out for nappies, wipes, meals and other essentials, we have been overwhelmed by the response. Over the past few days, we’ve received generous deliveries of home-cooked meals, hampers, groceries, nappies and wipes, as well as financial gifts specifically to help us restock.

A huge thank you to KIN ELC, IN Church and Christ Church Tuggeranong, and to the many individuals, families and others who have given so generously.

Your kindness has made such a difference and helps us continue supporting local mums and families when they need it most. We are so thankful to have such a generous community around us 🥹🩷
