Petition against the change of age limit at WILD young parents project.

20 years old.

I can't believe this. My daughter has cystic fibrosis she is 19 months old! I felt very alone before I joined wild as I didn't know what it was or who could help me. Wild has done so much even my daughters nurse came in and helped! I wouldn't know what to do without wild my daughter properly wouldn't play with other children. I just cannot believe it! I am begging please do not do this! .

I needed help n they bleedy made sure I got help. Now training to be a chef n I'm determined to proof to anyone n to wild they was the ones tht helped me. You just will be have a bad name against yourselfs. Think about others before yourselfs. We all need help don't break hearts. It's like a big one happy family who u can always trust

wild helpt me through everything and continue to do so! DONT CHANGE THE AGE!

WILD is more than a group, it's somewhere to be accepted, make friends and hare experiences. WILD has become a routine in my everyday life, we shouldn't have to leave just for the fact of age. All mums need more support, young and older, WILD is where i feel most comfortable at the moment.

22yrs old

You cannot change the age. I'm 20 and wild has helped me so much. The other mothers show me how to deal with difficult situations and are so supportive. Not only that but it's helped me with being separated from my child and has taught me loads of new skills, gardening and photography to name a couple. My son is 8 months old so interacting with other children and adults of different ages is extremely important for his social skills development. Wild provides a supportive system for young women suffering with difficult situations such as domestic abuse, financial difficulties and mental health such as depression. Taking this support and safe environment may leave mothers feeling alone and isolated.

Wild has given me a huge amount of support. Especially when I was very depressed. Also the children love it. its not just mums under 19 that need support. we all do

i dont go here as too old although i know people who do and they have loved it

wild has helped me sooo much not only just in the wild group but outside with meetings etc its helped with my confidence self esteem and its somewhere to go once a week where the children can go and play doing all sorts and mums of similar situations can get together and socialise with projects and even doing maths and english if it wasnt for them I wouldnt be where I am im 24 in March and would love to go back

When I first joined wild I was 19 and just had my first child the birth was traumatic.I joined the group went for a few month but developed pnd I struggled to leave my flat and to leave my child with anyone.I struggled to interact with anyone my friendships were strained along with ones between family members.after struggling with this on my own for so many months with the help of a friend who went to wild I rejoined the group.it was scarey I struggled at first but knowing that me and my son were in a safe environment and I could be myself really helped me.I am now 23 and now moved out of bodmin but I still travel the 40 sumink miles on a Monday to come to the group that is how special it is to me! I now have three children and we havnt long moved thanks to the help of my wild worker!I don't think.I would be where I am today if it wasn't for wild.I still struggle day to day that is why I still go to wild it doesn't matter weather u are 16 or 30 u still need support and this group has been my savour!!thank u to all at bodmin group fun while it lasted!!xx

I'm 23 and i still feel like a "young mum" i was 19 when I had my daughter wild has helped me so much I really don't know what I would of done without it, ii have been going to wild 3 years now and ii believe with the support its what had made me be the mummy that i am it helped me gain the confidence to get a job and I've gained life skills along the way I believe that at 23 you still need support I'm lucky that I have a supportive family but a lot of my friends at wild haven't and for single mums its the only break they get!

Changing the age for attending wild will not be a good thing, I needed support from wild until I was at least 24, wild project have helped me and other mums and still continue to help and support young mums, please do not lower the age

don't b tight council young mums should mean any mum upto the age of 25, its a massive task raising a kid espeshby themselves as many of them do, these young mums deserve support!!

Pressed enter to soon oops! And although im over 19 i still feel young and alone in a society where people really do look down on you for having a child, amd WILD was the one place where i felt comfortable and part of a family!

this is absolutly stupid. ive been going wild 2 1/2 years and only 1 under 19 came and she left just 2 weeks after as she found it boring! most mums under 19 that i know which is alot all either go college or are out drinking, partying or being teenagers and leaveing there babies with there grandparents. this group has helped me in so many ways. with dealing with the loss of my first born and them helping me come to terms with my second having a heart condition. i need this group to stay open to older as im 20

I have seen this group give my daughter confidence and support that, without, she would not have been able to get herself back into work. I know tht the group has helped a number of young mums who, had they been under 19, wouldn't have been ready for the support. Don't take this valuable resource away from those that need it, and gain from it, the most!

Wild has been a fantastic support to me through a really tough time in life

Such an amazing group!! When I attended I don't thing there was even 1 person under 19.. Would be such a shame to do this to all the great mums that attend

age should not matter
