One million families using Children's Centres as record numbers seek help in tough times National charity 4Children today publishes its Children’s Centre Census 2013. The Census is the only national annual survey of Children’s Centre activities and comes at a time of widespread concern over the impact of acute financial pressures on their accessibility in parts of the country. The new Census reveals that for the first time over a million families are benefitting from Children’s Centre services and that Centres are supporting two-thirds of all disadvantaged families with children under the age of five. However, 4Children is warning that the valuable progress being made will be put at risk if local authority predictions of cuts to Children’s Centres are realised. New figures from the 4Children Children’s Centre Census 2013 indicate that: For the first time, over a million families are using their local Children’s Centre, including two-thirds of disadvantaged families (with at least one child under five) 73% of Children’s Centres report an increase in the number of families who have used their services over the past 12 months 66% are operating on a decreased budget compared to the previous year 31% expect to provide fewer services in a year’s time 2% say they expect to be closed within a year’s time Read to full information by clicking on the Link at the top of the post So, those of you in CC's what do you think? Are you finding more demand for your services?
