Connecting with Families: Hub2U Outreach at Cleator Moor

20 November 2025

Over October and November, the Hub2U team had the privilege of spending time in Cleator Moor, bringing support and resources directly to families in their own community.

These sessions were all about creating a welcoming space
where families and young people could feel heard, supported
and connected.

Working together for families

We weren’t alone in this effort. Our outreach was a true team approach. We were joined by amazing partners who share our passion for helping families thrive:

Always Another Way – supporting mental health and wellbeing
Youth Safe – promoting safety and positive choices for young people
Hope Haven – offering support and wellbeing activities around the Whitehaven and Copeland area
Youth Rise – Information for parents or care givers of a young adult who feels unable to return or live at home

And of course, our own Rachel, Kerry, and Tracy from the Family Hub, who brought their knowledge and care to every conversation.

What families and young people told us

The feedback we received was inspiring and reminded us why these sessions matter:

“We learned about the effects and dangers of using substances.”

“If we weren't here tonight, we would be at home.”

- Feedback from our young people

"I learned how to control my emotions."

- Feedback from a young person

"I had previously received support from the Family Help Worker and was very thankful for the support they offered my family."

- Feedback from a parent

Why it matters

These sessions are about more than advice, they’re about building trust, reducing barriers, and making sure families know they’re not alone.

By being present in Cleator Moor, we’ve helped create connections that make a real difference.

Looking ahead

We’re excited to keep this momentum going!

Watch this space for future outreach dates and venues, we’d love to see you there.
