In 2022 we started our journey towards transforming our current children’s centres into family hubs.
Family Hubs will:
-
Bring services together to improve access
-
Improve the connections between families, professionals, services and providers
-
Put relationships at the heart of family support
Our ambition is to ensure that local families can access the right support, at the right time, in the right place, with the right people.
Through 2025, you will start to see our children’ centres grow into family hubs. These will be a one-stop shop for a variety of services for children and families of all ages. Giving opportunities to meet people, learn new things and find support.
There will be three family hub localities (East, South and West) bringing warm and welcome spaces for families, children and young people from 0 to 19. At the core of every family hub network is a start for life offer for babies, from conception through to 2 years old.
