Dear Early Years and Childcare colleagues
I wanted to write to you about the services we provide in light of the current and fast moving situation around the coronavirus.
In line with government advice we will stop delivering our normal offer from Children and Family Centres and Youth Centres from 23 March 2020 until further notice. This will include stopping the provision of all groups and events for children, young people and families.
We will be keeping 10 centres open across West Sussex however; these will now act as support centres offering crisis payments and to distribute food parcels. The list of these centres is as follows:
Adur and Worthing – Durrington, Kingston Buci and Lancing Children and Family Centres
Arun – Wickbourne and Treehouse Children and Family Centres
Chichester – Chichester Children and Family Centre
Crawley – Bewbush Children and Family Centre
Horsham – Storrington Children and Family Centre and Hurst Road Youth Centre
Mid Sussex - Park Youth Centre
Addresses for all these centres can be found on the following link www.westsussex.gov.uk/cfc unless the link is given above, and we will be updating the website to reflect this information.
As this is a fast moving situation, we will continue to keep you updated as to the situation regarding the services we provide. If you do have any urgent questions please email family.info.service@westsussex.gov.uk or you can contact the Family Information Service by calling 01243 777807. I’m sure you will appreciate our teams are incredibly busy and we will get back to you at the earliest opportunity.
Best wishes
Claire Hayes
Assistant Director for Early Help
