For three generations, my family and countless others have had their lives enriched by the Stubbington Study Centre. Our experiences and memories there are precious, passing down amazing stories and lessons learned over the past 90 years.

This institution, a rite of passage for all school-aged children in Hampshire, is facing unjust closure. But Stubbington is more than just a place. It is a tradition and a vital part of childhood that has shaped thousands of lives over its many years of operation.

To lose Stubbington is to sever a lifeline for lifelong learning and to deny future generations the experiences that have become a cherished part of growing up in Hampshire. It's not just about preserving a building, but a key element of our community, a treasured heritage and a tradition that connects past, present and future.

With your support, we can raise our voices against this closure and champion the right of every Hampshire child to continue taking part in this formative experience.

Please, sign this petition to save the Stubbington Study Centre, preserve this legacy for future generations, and keep this vital chapter of Hampshire's childhood alive.
