We have four Children and Family Hubs for families with children and young people up to age 19, or 25 for those with special educational needs or disabilities (SEND).
You can get involved in free activities, meet other families, and get support with feeding your baby, your child’s development, family health and wellbeing, and everyday parenting challenges.
Health professionals, community and voluntary organisations and early years staff work together in the hubs, making it easier for you to get the support you need.
