Charnwood Family Hubs

Family hubs (formerly known as children and family wellbeing centres) are local centres that can offer help and support to all families with babies and children aged 0-9 (25 for young people with SEND).

We offer various groups and support services from our centres alongside our partners such as health visitors and midwives.
