How do I get help from a family hub?
You can drop into any of our eight Family Hubs during operating hours from 8.30am to 5pm, call 0800 8870545, or have someone who is familiar with your situation request help on your behalf. Regardless of where you live within the city, Family Hubs are ready to provide support. We run a daily “Here to help” offer so you can get help and advice as soon as you contact us. Many of the support staff working in Family Hubs also visit different locations throughout the city, such as community centres, schools, or health clinics. This collaborative approach ensures the Family Hub offer is available to all, even if you are unable to visit a Family Hub building, and support can be arranged either in your home or within your local community.
