Special visitors as children's centre reopens
A SUPER centre for children has opened in Soho following a £2.4 million revamp.
More than 400 families a year in Westminster are expected to benefit from the renovated Marsham Street Children’s Centre, opened on Friday by Mayor Councillor Carolyn Keen.
The “community hub”, which has been helping children for 100 years, now boasts a sensory room, crèche and a wooden-only toy library.
Nurses, midwives and speech therapists will be on hand and the centre will also help to get mothers back into work with job advice from a specialist team.
To celebrate the event, Sidney Wright, who was regularly taken to the children’s centre in 1931 when he was just four years old, attended the opening ceremony.
