22/06/04 - Family day out to celebrate National Sure Start Month

On Sunday 27th June Cumbria Sure Start is inviting all the staff and their families to join in a family day out to celebrate National Sure Start Month. Staff and their families will enjoy out door fun and games and a BBQ at Brockhole, Lake District National Park visitors centre in Windermere.    

National Sure Start Month is sponsored by Sure Start, the Government programme dedicated to delivering the best start in life for every child. The theme for this year is ‘Starting Early’ to show the benefits of early education in a child’s long-term development. Cumbria Sure Start is responsible for delivering the Sure Start agenda in the county.    

County Councillor Joan Stocker, Cabinet Spokesperson for Education says   

"National Sure Start Month goes from strength to strength each year. It highlights the wide range of services and support already available for children, families and communities, to make sure as many people as possible know what is available to them. Sure Start aims to improve the health and well being of families and children before and from birth, so children are ready to flourish when they go to school. There have been many events organised across the County. I am sure the staff of Cumbria Sure Start and their families will have a wonderful time at this fun day." 

Nicola Jackson of Cumbria Sure Start says   

"Families are at the heart of every community and it is vital that support is available to both parents and children to ensure the best start for all children in terms of their health, education and social well-being. Cumbria Sure Start works with colleagues to ensure that families throughout the county have the support they need to be able to flourish and provide the best for their children. We are celebrating the central role of families in the community by organising a special day out for all our staff and their children to enjoy."
