Family hubs
What are early help family hubs?
Family hubs are dedicated, warm open-access spaces for families. You can drop in to meet members of the Early Help Team to have a conversation about things that may be troubling you. You can stay for a while, catch up with others, have a coffee and a chat, and even speak to professionals from other services who may be able to help you and your family.
Family hubs can offer help and support when you need it the most, within your own community. They're a gateway to information, advice and guidance about the things that matter the most to families, and the team can support you to access help from the right people at the right time. There are a range of services, including health, education and the voluntary and community sector, working to provide help.
With digital platform services also available, we can link families to the information they need, support you to make necessary phone calls that have just been too difficult to do yourself, or just be a listening ear when you need it the most. Family hubs are built around the needs of the local community; if the hub can't meet your needs, we'll adapt and change to make those services more accessible.
The hubs offer coffee and chat sessions, and some also have a stay and play session, where children can take part in an activity while you have the chance to talk to one of the team.
