There are no Sure Start Local Programmes (SSLP) in the Aylesbury constituency. However, within Buckinghamshire local authority, there is a SSLP situated in Wycombe. The authority also receives funding for Sure Start Children's Centres and it decides, in consultation with its delivery partners, how and where the funding is spent within its area. Funding for each of the programmes was as follows:
| Sure Start Local Programme Revenue | Children's Centres Revenue, Buckinghamshire | Children's Centres Capital, Buckinghamshire | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2002–03 | 114,500 | — | — |
