Visiting a Family Hub
What to expect when you visit a Family Hub and the support available for families.
A Family Hub is a place where families can access different services in one location.
It brings support together so families can get help more easily, without needing to contact several different organisations.
Family Hubs help families find support early, build confidence and manage challenges.
What happens when you visit
When you visit a Family Hub, you can access a range of support for your family. This may include:
- parenting workshops and support groups - sessions to help with parenting, child development and behaviour
- health and wellbeing services - support such as health advice, nutrition guidance and mental health support
- childcare and learning support - help finding childcare and resources to support children’s learning and development
- advice and referrals - guidance and help to access other services, including more specialist support if needed
How Family Hubs support families
Family Hubs support both children and the adults who care for them.
They help by providing:
- convenience and ease, with services in one place

Working together to support you
