Five more Family Hubs opening in Liverpool

Five more Family Hubs are set to open their doors in Liverpool during January and February.

The next hub to be established will be Belle Vale Family Hub (based out of Belle Vale Children’s Centre) which will open by hosting a celebration event on Wednesday 28 January.

Anyone is welcome and there will be a range of fun family activities available as well as information, advice, and support. Food and refreshments will also be provided. There’s no need to book, families can just drop in.

This opening will be followed by new hubs at Stoneycroft (4 Feb), Dovedale (17 Feb), Fazakerley (18 Feb), Wavertree (19 Feb).

Once all of these hubs are operational, the number of Family Hubs in the city will have doubled as the council establishes a hub in every neighbourhood.

Before Kensington Family Hub opened in November last year, there were previously five Family Hubs in Liverpool, but the council plans to expand this number to twelve, ensuring every community can access a hub close to home.

Building on the well-established strengths of Liverpool’s Children’s Centres, a Family Hub is a place where all families with children and young people aged 0-19 (or 25 if the young person has special educational needs or disabilities) can access coordinated support, information, advice, and activities.

Cllr Joanne Kennedy, Cabinet Member for Employment, Educational Attainment & Skills at Liverpool City Council, said: “Our ambition is that every neighbourhood in Liverpool can access their own Family Hub, and this expansion means that we’re now delivering that. 

“Family Hubs are there to ensure families can find a multitude of resources and activities designed to support their health, education, and wellbeing, in a supportive environment.

“Please go and visit your local Family Hub once it’s open to find out more about the services they can offer.”
