Hi I have started this petition to help Calder Kids. My son James who has ADHD and Autism currently goes to Calder Kids twice a week. Calder Kids provides a safe place for kids with disabilities to play and meet other children in a safe environment supported by fully trained (amazing) staff. As you have all heard the local gov have decided to make many cut backs including the funding for Calder Kids either by 28% or the full amount in which case Calder Kids will cease to exist. There is no other centre like this in the City of Liverpool and I am asking you to sign the petition and ask as many friends as possible to join so we can let the local MPs see what a detrimental effect this would have to many families with disabled children who access Calder Kids for restpite. Thanks Angeline

The stories shared in the comments are heartbreaking. I am currently working on a formal letter to send over to the local council.

My nephew goes here and he absolutely loves it. The staff are incredible and work so hard. Please dont close this place down, families need this support.

This place helped my daughter come out of her shell. If these cuts go through she loses her only safe space for socialising. So unfair.

Cuts to disability services are disgraceful. Calder Kids is a lifeline for so many in Liverpool. Leave it alone!!!!

Total madness. They do amazing work here and the parents get a break too. Dont let them shut it down.

Keep it open. The council needs to find money elsewhere instead of targeting kids who need help the most.
