Helping every Kiwi kid make a good first impression

From Afternoons, 1:35 pm today

As kids head off to school, there is the inevitable flurry of shopping to sort out uniforms and supplies.

For some families this also comes with a lot of financial stress and that can affect how children feel on that crucial first day. 

'School Start - First Impressions' is a charity that aims to ensure every child has a chance to start school with confidence. 

General manager Jessica Timmins speaks to Jesse today.
