I am the local editor for the Netmums website in Islington and and would like to urge your readers to take part in our Netmums Real Parenting Save Our Children’s Centre Campaign.

Centres are under threat of closure or having to drastically reduce services and local families in our community will suffer the consequences of these cuts.

We are offering parents in Islington the chance to join up with other parents locally and around the whole country at www.netmums.com/islington.

Parents can visit the Save Our Children’s Centres Campaign Online HQ to share tips and advice and we also have an easy-to-use step by step toolkit for worried families to take direct action locally. Only us local parents have the power to stop some of these cuts. If councillors don’t know we care, they will do what seems easiest. – Samantha McCulloch, Netmums Camden and Islington editor.
