Stop the closure of a disabled children’s short breaks respite centre
The Ghyll Children’s Resource Centre, is a short breaks respite service for disabled children. It offers overnight respite and daycare to disabled young people aged 5 years to 18 years. Thus giving families and carers a well needed break from caring.
It’s essential that this service remains open to these families, who have stated that their young people would not cope with having to travel to destination a lot further away from home, in order to have the care they deserve and are entitled to. Please help stop this and be part of ensuring these young people are taken into consideration as individuals and not just as a way of making savings due to funding cuts.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. This is the responsibility of your local council.
You could raise your issue with a local councillor who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:

You can also petition your local council - you can find out more here:

You could also start a new petition about something the UK Government and Parliament are responsible for. For example, you could start a new petition asking for the Government to commit to providing funding to ensure that all respite centres can remain open, if that's what you'd like to happen.
