Shout Out for Sure Start!

Labour’s Parliamentary Candidate for Bosworth, Rory Palmer, has given his backing to a national campaign celebrating the success of Sure Start.

The Shout Out for a Sure Start campaign was launched this week and sets out a pledge to defend Sure Start and to recognise the difference it has made to thousands of children across the country. The campaign is backed by trade union Unison and charity 4children. Celebrities including former Mum of the Year Melinda Messenger and children’s TV character Peppa Pig are also supporting the campaign.

Labour’s Parliamentary Candidate for Bosworth signed the Shout Out for a Sure Start pledge this week and announced it on his twitter webpage.

The pledge states that:

I pledge to shout out for a sure start for children in my community by spreading the word about the great work of Children’s Centres.

After signing up his support for the campaign Rory Palmer said:

“I have seen first hand the excellent work done at Sure Start Children’s Centres. The Sure Start approach has fundamentally changed how we see early years care and support for children and parents. I want to see many more generations of children benefit from Sure Start and that’s why I am pledging to defend Sure Start and to spread the word in the community about the truly excellent work done at our Children’s Centres.”

“Sure Start has made a real difference to families across Hinckley and Bosworth and with a new Sure Start on the way in Bagworth we will see even more families benefiting. Labour is committed to Sure Start and we will deliver a Sure Start facility in every community.”
