IT was time to celebrate across the town last week, at news that Sure Start has finally arrived in north Warrington.

Already a runway success in Westy, where Sure Start was launched just over a year ago, news that more families will now benefit from its expansion was greeted with elation.

To mark the good news, two fun days were held, advertising the family service for children under four and gaining valuable feedback from parents and carers about what they wanted from the scheme.

Both events were a massive success, attended by local families keen to get involved in the groundbreaking development in their area.

Mums, dads, carers and tots all enjoyed a healthy lunch, with plenty of fun activities and lots to do for all the family.

If you live in Bewsey, Dallam, Longford, Grasmere, Alder Lane, or the middle of the Hulme ward areas, and want to get involved by providing ideas to improve the lives of families with children under four years old, contact Jane Critchley at the Orford Neighbourhood Project.
