Sure Start children’s centres in Hull are facing a 50% cut. Of 244 workers across all the centres only 46 look likely to be kept on, according to the union Unison’s estimates.

Sally Pattison, pictured with her daughters Rebecca (5), left, and Leigh-Anna (3), says: “The centre was a lifeline for me. I had really severe postnatal depression when I had my first child. I didn’t have any support and I didn’t leave the house. I had postnatal depression with my other children, too, but because by then I was able to use the children’s centre it was totally different. I knew I could go there and spend the day if I needed to, without feeling paranoid that people were judging me." Photograph: Lorne Campbell for the Guardian
