SureStart-a place where moms get help and find a place to rest and feel save.

Yesterday we finally got out of the university and visited the first organisation, called SureStart.
SureStart is an organisation for young families or single moms and dads. They get help in any type of problems and issues, they have to face, when they have a baby.

It was very interesting, since two women told us everything and were open for every question. They told us about the projects such as "How do I cook easy and healthy food?" (Some of us were about to ask, if it was possible to join as well :-) ), "How can I find a job even though I have a baby?", or they just go there, if they have any questions according to the health of the baby and general questions about parenting, or if they just want to talk to other moms who are in the same situation. The institution also offers the possibility to borrow games and books for their kids. This is especially useful for families who can't afford to buy any.

SureStart is completly supported by the government and receives most of their budget from them. The problem of being supported by the government, is that they have to proove very detailed if their work is worth it...in two years they have the next "reporting day".
We are very certain, that this organisation is definitely worth being supported and should get as much help as they need and will need.
