Centre for Early Child Development

Better Start is funded by The National Lottery Community Fund and partners to deliver lasting change so that Blackpool will be a place in which families raise happy, healthy children who grow up to take pride in belonging to, and giving back to, the community. Better Start will improve services for 0-3 year olds and their families and every new baby in Blackpool will enjoy the early care and nurture they need for healthy development and to be ready for school. Initially we are focussing our work in the seven wards where the local community faces the greatest challenges: Bloomfield, Brunswick, Claremont, Clifton, Park, Talbot and Victoria. Linked Children's Centres are Claremont, Grange Park, Mereside, Revoe, St Cuthbert's, Talbot & Brunswick and Thames. Follow us on Twitter, @CECDBlackpool  Email - BetterStart.CECD@nspcc.org.uk Telephone - 01253 476789.
