What Family Hubs doFamily Hubs act as one-stop shops where families can access a wide variety of services designed to meet their everyday needs. These hubs offer support with healthcare, education and more, all under one roof.The role of Children’s CentresChildren’s Centres focus primarily on helping young children thrive. They offer programs and resources tailored to promote early childhood development, including activities that support learning, health, and emotional wellbeing.How they work togetherBy teaming up, we create a network of support that makes life a little easier for families. We share resources, coordinate programs, and often even share space, ensuring that families can get all the help they need in one place.Benefits for familiesThis close collaboration brings many benefits to families:• Easier access: With services available in one place or through coordinated referrals.• Holistic support: Families receive more comprehensive support that addresses a range of needs.• Better outcomes: When services are integrated and coordinated, children and families tend to experience better outcomes.By working together, Family Hubs and Children’s Centres create a nurturing environment where children can flourish, and families can thrive.
