I guess because there's only so much council resources to go round and council workers need time off too. You need to pay overtime to staff if they work weekends which may compromise the viability of the free centre. Plus some of these facilities (certainly at Peckham) are part staffed by volunteers and it's more difficult to get people to give up their time at weekends. That said I think some Children's Centres so run sessions on saturday mornings. I just feel so lucky that we're in an area that has so many free activities available!

Hi all,


I am the baby worker at the children's centre . It is harder for the centre to provide sessions on a weekend, but I'll pass on the comments and maybe weekend sessions could happen later in the year.

Enjoy the snow all.

Thanks Natalie, and sorry if I sounded snotty!


I just find sometimes that it's hard for working parents or partners to get involved in these initatives. I have taken my little man to story time at Peckham Library on weekends (run by volunteers) but that is all I seem to be able to do. Rhyme-time, baby-swim, One-O'clock club all seem to be during the week only.


Anyway, maybe it's because the demand isn't there! I don't know, but I would like to be involved, and I'm sure there are others, along with the week-working partners of families already involved who would like to join in too!?

Hi antantant,


You didn't come across snotty at all, you were just asking a very valid question :) I shall mention the suggestions at the next parent forum.


Thanks Fushia for the albrighton info.


Have a lovely snowy weekend all.


Thanks

Natalie

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
