A group of Southport parents have organised a march to save our Children's Centres. They also have a facebook group. The March begins at Southport Train Station at 10.30am on Tuesday 25th January 2011. They are urging people to bring placards, make banners e.t.c.
They are also asking for people to write a short paragraph about how children's centres have benefitted people:
"If you have some time in the next couple of days, could you please write out a short paragraph (or a long one!) on how the children's centres have benefitted you. What have they done for you and your children? How would life be different if you were no longer able to access one?
I thought that instead of a petition, a pile of testimonies might be more meaningful and compelling. You can leave it anonymous if you want, but if you are happy to put your name on it and would be happy to relate your story to the media, just add your name and a short note to that effect at the bottom. Send them to me as soon as you get a chance. Thank you! x"
If you email me at southportanticuts@hotmail.co.uk I will pass them on.
Jessica from BBC Radio Merseyside is also attending the march and is looking for people who are willing to be interviewed.
