Before using a Firestore database you need to create one. So, let’s get back to the Firebase console,

flutter pub get cloud_firestore. 
import 'package:cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore.dart'; 
late FirebaseFirestore firestore; 
late CollectionReference activities; 

FirebaseHelper() { 
    firestore = FirebaseFirestore.instance; 
    activities = firestore.collection('activities'); 
}
