Portsmouth Sure Start Centres

Heavy rain didn't stop a large, vibrant crowd of people turning out for the demo in Portsmouth this weekend to protest against the Government cuts of Sure Start Centres and the plans specifically in Portsmouth to merge centres, cut staff, resources and services. Four hundred Sure Start centres have been closed already over the last couple of years across the country. It was great to see so many kids and parents and heartfelt speeches from the people who know how much Sure Start Centres can mean to families and children.





 



 
 The Portsmouth News was there to cover the rally and march:

Leaflets were being handed out to publicise a public meeting at the end of the month:
