Exciting plans to expand and enhance Family Hubs in West Berkshire

Families across West Berkshire are set to benefit from exciting new developments as we look to expand and strengthen our Family Hubs - ensuring more children, parents, and carers can access the support they need, when they need it.

Our four Family Hubs in Thatcham, Calcot, Newbury, and Hungerford already provide a lifeline for many families, and we're committed to growing and enhancing this vital service over the coming years.

Starting in April, we're making key changes to create a more seamless and joined-up support system. This means our Family Hubs will work more closely with our Early Help teams, strengthening the support available, not just for families with young children, but also for those with older children and young people.

Councillor Heather Codling, Executive Member for Children and Family Services at West Berkshire Council, said:

"We remain committed to delivering services within communities while also exploring new ways to enhance our offer. Family Hubs play a crucial role in supporting local families, and these improvements will make them even stronger.

"We want to ensure every parent and child has access to the right support at the right time, and we're excited to work with our communities to make this happen."

Keep an eye out for opportunities to get involved and help shape this important service. To find out more, stay tuned for updates or get in touch via: familyhubs@westberks.gov.uk to learn more about how you can contribute.
