Sure Start
Service Outline
Sure Start is the Government's programme to support children and families by delivering the best start in life for every child and to help parents balance their work and family commitments.
Manchester's Sure Start children's centres are reshaping early years and family services all over the city, building on existing services, so that more young children and their parents can access high quality integrated services at neighbourhood level. Centres offer childcare, family support and a range of health, training and employment services depending on local need.
