Closed Increase funding for Sure Start children's centres

Closed on

There have been huge cuts to Sure Start children's centres across the country, leading in many cases to closures. The Government should increase funding for these centres, to protect their much needed services.

Children's centres offer a life line for families in need, especially regarding mental health.

They can offer counselling support for parents in need but many local authorities have cut funding for these centres.

It's important for parents to be able to access these services, and reduced availability could have a major impact on their lives and that of their children.
