Provide a crèche for Lewis Sports Centre

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

Poor weather, lack of childcare and partners who work offshore, prevent many mothers from being able to exercise in the WI. A crèche would enable mothers to meet, exercise, set healthy examples to their children, combat feelings of isolation / depression and help recover after childbirth.
