Gateshead Family Hubs

Gateshead's Family Hubs provide a welcoming space for families and the wider community.

Our Family Hubs support families from conception to the age of two to give all children the best start in life. We continue to support families of children up the age of 19 and to age 25 for young people who have special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).

Our hubs are also open to other members of the community who may need more help.

There are nine Family Hubs located across Gateshead. More support is available from community locations right across the borough.

We also offer a virtual Start for Life and Family Hub if you are unable to attend one of our centres.

What are Family Hubs?

Gateshead's Family Hubs provide a welcoming space for families to get the help they need on a wide range of issues, providing a 'front door' for families with children aged 0-19 years and up to age 25 with additional needs.

For expectant parents and those with babies and young children, this includes help with parenting, infant feeding and support for parents/carers to manage their own wellbeing.

Family Hubs are also a great place to meet professionals who can support your family - like parent outreach workers, health visitors and maternity services.
