We need as many signatures before wednesday due to council closing some of surestart childrens centers, There are 9 centres set to shut and be handed out to other agency's there is a meeting Wednesday in kingswood civic centre to try and stop this from happening, my point is we need as many people to sign this petition to help stop close our main surestart center in yate westgate, i know alot of mums benefit from surestart as i do, we have a young mums group, and even a dads group, and it would be sad to see these stopped so please help us fight for this center!!!

I have been reading the stories some of you are sharing about how much our center means to your daily lives. It reinforces why I started this fight because losing these groups would leave so many of us without a place to turn. I am preparing everything we have gathered to bring to the meeting at the civic center.

Seeing this kind of momentum gives me hope that Yate Westgate might actually have a fighting chance. My heart is full knowing so many of you understand how vital this space is for our local families.

Surestart literally helped me thru PND. this is so unfair to all the new mums who need that support network.

what a joke. council finds money for everything else but bins the things that help families.

This place is a lifeline for so many of us in Yate. My little one loves the playgroup here. Please keep it open.
