The Government has decided to cut the amount of money it puts into Children's Centres. Because of this, 25% of Surestart Children's Centres have to close and other cuts have to be made. The Government have no idea how vital every single Children's Centre is. If you use a Surestart Centre; to help yourself, your family, your child/children; then pleaae sign this petition to stop your local Centre from being closed

I really never thought this would gain this much steam but here we are and it is honestly overwhelming to see so many people actually care about these spaces. My brain is spinning a bit thinking about how many families are going to be affected by these cuts so let us just keep pushing until they actually listen to us.

without my surestart centre I would not of been able to cope with post natel depression and come out the other side with my beautiful daughters. if they closed too many families would be massively effected for the worse.

These centres are vital for children and mothers! I have been using my local centres for five years, my children have really benefited from the learning, play and social interactions they have had in the centre and I would have been lost without them. the government need to realise how important these centres are for families!!

My daughter went to Yaps pre and post natal, they helped support her as a young mum, helped her continue her education and helped her gain an apprenticeship and set her on the road to self sufficiency. If it hadn't been there maybe she would have still managed to sort herself out and be above excellent working mother she is today, but most likely she would be scrapping pennies together trying to keep her head above water. They were babies themselves at 16 & 17, and are wonderful competent parents thanks to sure start.

These centers help families stay FAMILIES. They help Young mums learn how to raise their new children, help postnatel sufferers to come through those awful black times and give a calm and reassuring place for those that need it.
