SureStart is a Government funded initiative which brings together the people of the community, in partnership with voluntary groups and statutory agencies to develop projects, which will improve the health, education and well-being of families with children under four years old, so that these children will be ready to thrive when they go to school.

SureStart local programmes work with parents and parents-to-be to improve children's life chances through better access to:

• Family support
• Advice on nurturing
• Health services
• Early learning

SureStart in Libraries
There are seven SureStart programmes in the City of Sunderland

All SureStart programmes hold events in libraries throughout the year, these include story times, craft sessions and special events.  Contact the Early Years Librarian at your local SureStart Programme for further details.
