Family Hubs aim to make a positive difference to parents, carers and their children by providing a mix of physical and virtual spaces, as well as outreach, where families can access non-judgmental support for the challenges they may be facing.

Outreach to places, groups, and people to provide practical support (like help with forms, debt advice, help to access other services)
Parenting support programmes for anyone to join
Opportunities to volunteer as a parent/carer or young person
Problem solving with you at the earliest opportunity, if you are feeling stuck
Family Hub Connectors provide free information, advice and guidance, helping families find childcare, activities and support services across the borough. Their aim is to ensure every family can access the help they need to give children the best possible start in life.
