Family Hubs and Delivery Sites

Family Hubs (formerly known as Children’s Centres) are at the heart of our service and are from where we deliver and coordinate most of our services. There is one main Family Hub in each area and we also reach out from there to provide services from nearby Healthy Family Delivery Sites, which may be closer to home and more convenient to access for some residents.

Essex Child and Family Wellbeing Service help other organisations and families themselves to run services and activities from Family Hubs and Delivery Sites. For example, midwives from a maternity unit may run clinics there, as may the NHS service responsible for administering childhood immunisations.

We host an array of family support services who can help you such as the Citizen’s Advice Bureau, Home-Start, Safer Places and Adult Community Learning.

We are proactively encouraging people from our local communities to play a role in our Family Hubs so if you are interested in leading a peer support group or becoming a volunteer please get in touch.

All our Family Hubs are governed by an Advisory Board. Read more about them here >
