Community invited to visit West Northants’ first family hub

13 March 2025

Families across West Northamptonshire are invited to visit the first one stop shop for family support as the hub opens at the forum in Towcester on Saturday, 29 March.

West Northamptonshire Council is holding a ‘come and see’ event between 10am and 3pm giving residents the opportunity to meet the team and the partners that will be delivering services at the new location. There will be activities for all ages, allowing families to get a taste of what the Hub offers. 

Towcester Family Hub will be offering a programme and timetable of activities from Monday 31 March.

Family Hubs provide a place to go for face-to-face support, making it easier for families to access information, advice and guidance they may need at various times throughout their child’s life. As well as a hub, Family hubs have an online offer where families can access a range of resources.

Children, young people and their parents can access the hub from pre-birth to 19 years and up to 25 if they have additional needs. 

Towcester Family Hub will offer a range of bookable and drop-in sessions for families. Strong Start, a well-established early years provision will be joining the Family Hubs team, and a new youth space will offer young people a place to socialise, unwind and access support. 

Cllr Fiona Baker, Cabinet Member for Children, Families and Education at West Northamptonshire Council, said: "We are thrilled to open the doors of the Towcester Family Hub, our first one-stop shop for family support in West Northamptonshire. This hub represents our commitment to providing accessible, comprehensive services to families in our community. We invite everyone to join us on 29 March to explore the wide range of activities and resources available. Our goal is to create a welcoming space where children, young people, and their parents can find the support they need at every stage of their lives. We look forward to seeing you there and working together to build a stronger, more connected community."

Please look out as there will be other Family hubs opening in Northampton and Daventry as well as s number of spoke sites across West Northamptonshire.
