    Family Resilience Consultation – Phase 1, Children’s Centres https://www.surreysays.co.uk/csf/family-resilience-childrens-centres/ Please use the notes below as a guide to help you complete the consultation. If you would like to talk more, then pop into our open sessions on • Monday 19th November 1pm – 2pm at West Street, Dorking, • Tuesday 20th November 11am – 12pm at Goodwyns Road, Dorking • Monday 26th November – 10am – 11am at Aperdale Road, Leatherhead • Wednesday 28th November – 10am – 11am at Aperdale Road, Leatherhead The consultation takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. QA – Are you responding on behalf of an organisation or as someone who lives, works or studies in Surrey? Q1a – Do you have any comments on the new family resilience approach? Please write your response in the box below (you only have 200 words to use in this section, so please consider carefully your response) You may want to consider these issues before you respond: • Can all families in need be supported on the large cut in budget Surrey suggest? • What about families in need of support who live a long way from a centre? • Less groups and universal sessions will increase isolation and may harm community cohesion • Volunteers may not offer the same level of service as Children’s centre staff • The Dorking site is already busy. Is there space to do all the work with health and partners that is needed? • Where will families go if the Stay and Play groups close? • Will the same advice and support be available from other groups locally? • Who will do all the early work with new Mums and young babies when Health visiting services are also being cut back? • Reducing universal sessions risks missing an opportunity to support families at an early stage in a child’s life, before issues escalate.

See Principles on main webpage. High hills, green slopes, views, village, woodland trail, vineyard trail, long climb with steps In Brief This walk was originally done to work off the Christmas excesses and it did the job magnificently. The two beauty spots that feature here seem to be so well known, but somehow the walk shows up a number of surprises, so that you may feel that you are discovering something completely new. In the tradition of walks on this site, the route takes some unusual paths, familiar to locals but less known outside the area. The last stretch includes a bridge over the Mole, followed by a very long series of steps: not for the faint-hearted! Starting on the top of Box Hill gives you a good chance for an early snack and a refresher at the end and makes sure you don’t opt out of the steepest part of the walk. But you could equally well start at Denbies Hillside (begin from section 5 ) with the idea of a lunch break on Box Hill.
