Halton Family Hubs: Support for You and Your Family

Advice and Information - 14 July 2025

Halton Family Hubs are friendly, accessible places where families can get face-to-face support and information from a range of services, all in one place. Whether you're expecting a baby, raising a toddler, or supporting a young person, the hubs are here to help.

Family Hubs bring together services from the Council, NHS, and community organisations. They aim to make it easier for families to find the support they need, when they need it.

  • You are a parent or carer of a child aged 0 to 19, or up to 25 if they have special educational needs or disabilities
  • You are a young person aged up to 19, or up to 25 with SEND

Support is open to all families living in Halton, whatever your circumstances.
