amily Hubs are an evolution of our Children’s Centres, expanding our parenting programme and working closely with the youth service and other partners for an all-age offer. All families with children aged 0 - 11 and expectant mothers and fathers, can attend to help their children to get the best start in life. The facilities and activities are designed for all children and their families. Family Hubs across Kingston and Richmond are key contributors to the Protect and Early Help agenda and their core purpose is to identify, reach and help the families in greatest need. The aims of service provision are to support child development and school readiness; support parenting skills; promote good physical and mental health for the whole family; ensure safeguarding; support parents to improve skills that enable them to access education, training and employment; and address risk factors so that children and their families are safe, free from poverty and able to improve both their immediate wellbeing and their future life chances.
