Postcode lotteries shouldn't decide the future of a child

One of the last Labour Government's proudest achievements was Sure Start - a transformative programme that provided vital support for families in those all-important early years.

It wasn't just a policy, it was a lifeline that helped level the playing field for children, regardless of background.

Now, under this Labour government, we're going back to those roots and building something even stronger.

This week, I'm proud to support the launch of Labour's Best Start Family Hubs - a major national initiative that will be rolled out in every local authority across the country.

These hubs will act as a one-stop shop for parents, offering everything from advice on breastfeeding and housing to help with early child development, mental health, and parenting support.
