The event introduced new branding and showcased how families in Calderdale can benefit from improved, joined up services, at the first Calderdale Family Hub \u2013 \u2018Central Halifax Family Hub at Jubilee<\/a>\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Family Hubs will provide support for families in Calderdale with children aged 0-19 years (or up to age 25 for young people with special educational needs or disabilities). Over the next two years, Calderdale will introduce a network of hubs, all of which will ensure people can access local support for family life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calderdale Council is one of 75 local authorities to receive funding from the Department for Education and Department of Health and Social Care to invest in Family Hubs, as part of the Family Hubs and Start for Life Programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are Family Hubs?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Family Hubs aim to improve the connections between families and the people who support them. The first Family Hub, \u2018Central Halifax Family Hub at Jubilee\u2019, at Jubilee Children\u2019s Centre and Nursery in Halifax was officially opened by the Deputy Mayor of Calderdale, Cllr Sue Holdsworth, at a ribbon cutting ceremony at the event on Tuesday 12 September.<\/p>\n\n\n

Those attending the event were able to find out more about the many services available from this one location. Events on the day also included children\u2019s activities and games for a variety of ages, arts and crafts, yoga, face painting, henna, a petting zoo, health checks and information from emergency services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Jubilee site is the first of a network of Family Hubs, which will serve communities across the borough. They will bring together family help services to improve access and connections to a wide variety of services, including parenting support, activities and groups and health advice. Families will be able to access services at any of the Family Hub locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m delighted that we\u2019ve opened our first Family Hub, based in Halifax, providing a \u2018one-stop-shop\u2019 for local families to receive support and advice, as well as the chance to take part in activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs the Family Hubs are designed for local families, it\u2019s been so important that we\u2019ve been able to involve them in the development process. The look of the hubs and the services they provide have been shaped by feedback from workshop events with local families, to ensure we can provide the support families need, where and when they need it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Calderdale Council\u2019s Cabinet Member for Children and Young People\u2019s Services, Cllr Adam Wilkinson, added:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was great to see local families at the opening of the new Central Halifax Family Hub at Jubilee. There were lots of activities for young people and families to enjoy at the opening day, and also the opportunity to find out more about the many services available at the Family Hub to support local families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe welcome any parents or carers across the borough to come along and see how the Family Hubs programme can support their child\u2019s development, from early years to older teenagers. We also look forward to rolling out the network of hubs across the borough, to help give children and young people the best start in life and to support the Council\u2019s priority to reduce inequalities.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
