The Family Hubs are the existing Children’s Centres which are being repurposed. The aim is to retain the Early Years offer within each centre and build on this to offer wider services. Although the Children’s Centre buildings have been named as Family Hubs our aim is to develop a place-based model to include all appropriate settings within the Family Hub offer. At the moment we are working closely with partners to build an offer which includes current services, our next step is to begin public consultation to understand what the community would like to see from the Family Hubs.
