Today, a third Family Hub has opened in Knowsley based at Jubilee Centre on Twigg Lane in Huyton.
This latest offer extends and supports the Family Hub currently operating from The Pride Centre in Kirkby as well as the recently-open hub at New Hutte Community Centre in Halewood.
Family Hubs bring together professionals, services and support in one place, in the heart of local communities, to help children and families to thrive.
It provides services that help give expectant parents and babies a great start to life, supporting parents through parenting classes, learning support, midwifery, health visiting, infant feeding advice, child development support and perinatal mental health support.
The aim is to make services easier to navigate and more joined-up, ensuring families receive the right service at the right time.
Since opening the first Family Hub in Kirkby in September 2023, hundreds of families have been supported and feedback has been extremely positive.
The Family Hub at the Jubilee Centre will be open from 9am until 5pm Monday to Friday.
You can find out more about the Family Hub offer by visiting Knowsley Start for Life, calling 0151 443 5633 or emailing Familyhubs@knowsley.gov.uk.
Cllr David Lonergan, Cabinet Member for Children’s Services, said: “I’m delighted that we’ve opened our third Family Hub in the borough. They are located right in the heart of local communities, meaning that help and support is easily accessible to our residents.
“I’ve spoken to many families who access our Family Hub offer and I know that it is very much welcomed and needed with support and services aligned to local needs.
“If you haven’t already seen the offer available, I’d encourage you to take a look or pop in to one of the Knowsley Family Hubs either at the Pride Centre, New Hutte Children and Family Hub or at the Jubilee Centre to speak to the staff about the range of help and support that is available.”
