Your Hubs, Your Voice
Community hubs are welcoming, safe places where you can chat, get support and access services. If you’ve recently visited a hub, we want to hear about your experience.
Community Food Clubs
Most people are experiencing an increased cost of living. We want to make sure the right support is in the right places, and that people are aware of where they can get help or find ways to help themselves.
Start for Life Parents and Carers Forum
Parents and carers from across the borough meet every month to give us their views on the Start for Life programme. There is a supervised creche with qualified staff, transport costs are also refunded and everyone who attends a forum meeting receives a £20 gift voucher and interpreters can be arranged if needed.
Family Hub Locality Boards
Family Hub Locality Boards are groups of local stakeholders and parents. They meet six times a year to ensure Family Hubs are meeting the needs of local families and children. They also monitor what is happening and make sure resources are being used efficiently.
Just Say Parent Carer Forum
A well-informed, connected, and empowered community of families of children with disabilities and additional needs and they work in strategic partnership with the local authority (LA) Health.
