DOWN Sure Start team organised an open day for local families at its headquarters in Downpatrick on Monday. 

The event provided an opportunity for everyone to meet staff, view the building and gain information on the wide range of services and programmes offered. 

Down Sure Start, whose main site is at Mount Crescent, with a sister site at Railway Street, Newcastle, works in collaboration with local statutory, voluntary and community organisations to provide services and give children the best possible start in life. 

A spokesperson for the team said: “All services provided in the catchment area are free of charge to expecting families and families with children under four years- ld. 

“Some of these services include health visiting and midwifery support, breastfeeding support, both ante natal and post natal support, healthy lifestyle, parenting, early years and dads programme, home safety service, speech and language support, and programmes with families with additional needs, first aid programmes and family support services.”
