Sure Start are doing a fab job in improving facilities for kids and parents in the area. The problem is the type of person that lives here, I'm not sure how I can put this without it sounding dodgy. According to the local statistics office, only 4% of adults in this area have qualifications other than GCSE's, the majority are either on benefits or do seasonal work cleaning caravans. They are generally not interested in the sure start services which are aimed at them! I was actually willing to pay for and travel to baby massage, I expected the course to be full but I was the only one interested. So in the end I did travel and pay for it.
