Barnardo's Children’s Centre in Corsham is turning to Facebook in the hope of reaching more members of the community.

The charity in Kings Avenue provides free support to parents and carers of under-fives and last year worked with more than 1,200 parents and children.

Barnardo’s team leader Sarah Nelson said: “We want to make it as easy as possible for people to learn how we can help them.

“We particularly want to reach those who might be more nervous about coming into our building for the first time. The Facebook page allows them to take a closer look at all of the free activities on offer before stepping through our doors.”

The children’s centre serves Corsham, Box, Colerne, Yatton Keynell, Gastard, Lacock and Kington St Michael and is managed by Barnardo’s on behalf of Wiltshire Council.
