Sure Start

The Dry Arch SureStart project is dedicated to supporting families with young children by offering a comprehensive range of services that promote health, development, and positive parenting. Our programs are designed to help parents and caregivers build strong foundations for their children’s future, ensuring they thrive from pregnancy through to starting school.
Who We Support
Since 2001, Dry Arch SureStart has been providing vital services to families in the local community. If you live within the Causeway Coast and Glens Borough, particularly in the Limavady or Dungiven areas, and are pregnant or have a child under 4 years old, we would love to connect with you.
Our Services
Our programs are tailored to meet the needs of young families, offering support and guidance every step of the way. From bonding with your bump to preparing your little one for school, we are here to help you navigate the joys and challenges of early parenthood. Our services include:
- Antenatal Support: Helping you prepare for the arrival of your baby.
- Parent and Child Sessions: Promoting bonding, development, and learning through play.
- Health and Well-being Programs: Focusing on physical and emotional wellness for both parents and children.
- Developmental Activities: Encouraging your child’s growth and learning through fun and engaging activities.
- Parenting Workshops and Support: Offering practical advice and emotional support to help you feel confident in your parenting journey.

Even if you fall outside our SureStart catchment area, you can still benefit from our Developmental Programme, which follows a similar supportive model and is open to all local families.
