What are Family Hubs?
Family Hubs bring together the support a family may need, from pregnancy through to young people turning 19 (or 25 if they have SEND).
Family Hubs aim to make a positive difference to parents, carers and their children by providing a mix of physical and virtual spaces, as well as outreach, where families can access non-judgmental support for the challenges they may be facing.
In Sutton, this means:
-
Peer support and practical support across the borough, through regular coffee mornings, for anyone to drop-in to.
-
Outreach to places, groups, and people to provide practical support (like help with forms, debt advice, help to access other services)
-
Parenting support programmes for anyone to join
-
Opportunities to volunteer as a parent/carer or young person
-
Four hub spaces, that you can attend to access a range of support
-
Problem solving with you at the earliest opportunity, if you are feeling stuck
What's on at the Family Hub spaces?
Family Hubs offer a wide range of services including Coffee mornings, free uniform shop sessions, Speech and Language Clinics, infant feeding, support groups for specific needs such as a ukrainian support group, SEN support sessions, School Nursing after-school drop-ins, Pregnancy circles, Young Parents group, sexual health clinics, and more.
