NEARLY 30 family hubs are set to
be open in Leicestershire by the
end of the spring.
Leicestershire County Council launched
19 hubs in 2023, with seven more due to
be up and running by the end of March.
The Family Hubs network support to
Leicestershire parents, carers and families
continues to grow across the county.
Since officially launching at the end of May 2023, families have had access
to a host of services in their local communities, ranging from antenatal
support, new parents groups and 1-to-1 clinics helping people with issues
such as mental health, money and housing support.
Another two are set to be opened this month in Loughborough Library
and Measham. Others will follow in Moira, Thurmaston, Broughton Astley,
Castle Donington and Mountfields Lodge in Loughborough.
Families can also visit a Family Hub at their local children and family
wellbeing centre or Leicestershire library to join in activities including
Stay and Play, Library Wriggly Readers and Holiday Activity & Food (HAF)
sessions.
Councillor Deborah Taylor, cabinet member for children and families, said:
“Family Hubs are open to all families and young people, whether they are
looking for support on more serious topics, or hoping to take part in a fun,
family activity.
“Our Adult and Family Learning Team are always on hand in each of their
local areas and we’ve seen them make such a great connection in their
respective communities, making our Family Hubs feel like a true network of
support and guidance for all.”
The new Family Hubs website is set to officially launch early this year,
and will give families, young people and professionals access a whole
range of information and advice. View the website.(https://www.

Leicestershire is one of 12 local authorities to secure a slice of a £12
million pot of grant funding to transform the way services are delivered for
families.
Glenfield Library Family Hub is located near Morrisons
supermarket. The library has a ramp to the entrance and is on one
level with wide aisles.
