There are proposals to stop the universal groups running across the city in Children's Centres and Libraries.  These groups are highly valued by parents of the under 5s and vital to child development, providing a safe place for children to play and learn and for parents to share experiences.  Some centres will close completely! These centres help the residents of Brighton and Hove through the very challenging early years stage of their child's life and are staffed by highly skilled professionals who are enthusiastic and engaging.  These amazing staff are at risk of losing their jobs.  We put it to you to stand with us as we stand up to this government and say NO CUTS TO OUR SERVICES.  We will not stand idly by and watch the ConDem government target yet another vulnerable group and they should be prepared for a fight!
