DEMONSTRATION TO SAVE CAMDEN CHILDCARE - WED 23rd FEB AT CAMDEN TOWN HALL

We have promised to keep you updated with the local campaign Save Camden Childcare. The council are meeting next wed 23rd Feb, it's a crucial budget meeting and the campaign group have been given permission to stage a child friendly demonstration. As well as making our point it should be fun too. Hope to see some of you there - here's the flyer:

Save Camden Childcare!

Families in Camden will be affected by the proposed cuts to Children’s services. This will affect Pre-school and After-School care and Holiday playschemes. If the cuts go ahead this will mean:

Nurseries will close (Caversham is earmarked for closure in August 2011). After school clubs and holiday play-schemes will no longer be able to run, such as TAG and Plot 10.

Save Camden Childcare!

Funding for all of the after-school and holiday play-schemes in Camden is seriously under threat due to local government cuts. A borough-wide campaign is underway urging Camden Council to reconsider their proposals and the impact this decision will have on the children and families in Camden. The result will simply be that many play-schemes will have to close, which will have a huge impact for all families.

Please sign up to the campaign and encourage all your online contacts to do the same. As we hear more we will keep you informed. Also, please talk to other parents you know, and if their school is not involved, then please encourage them to get involved:
