Blaby Oadby Wigston 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.

We have four Family Hubs in the Blaby Oadby Wigston locality :

  • Wigston Magna Family Hub, Long Street, Wigston, LE18 2AH
  • Braunstone Town Family Hub, Kingsway North, LE3 3BD 
  • Huncote Family Hub, The Pavilion, Sportsfield Lane, Huncote, LE9 3BN
  • Wigston Library, Bull Head Street, Wigston, LE18 1PA (our library staff can help signpost you to what support is available)

For more information, please visit the 'Hubs' section of our website. Just to let you know, all Hubs will have public access to our website and free wifi very soon.
