• New Family Hub has opened in Manor Park, providing a 'one stop shop' for various family services as part of Newham Council’s Family Hub network.
• The hub offers services such as maternity care, health visitors, youth services, and early education.
• Councillor Sarah Ruiz praised the hub’s addition, highlighting it as a valuable resource for families and a key investment in Newham's children and young people.
A new Family Hub is now open in Manor Park, acting as a ‘one stop shop’ for a wide range of different services.
The hub, which is one of four and forms Newham Council’s Family Hub network, was opened last week by Mayor of Newham Rokhsana Fiaz and Councillor Sarah Ruiz. Local families paid a visit to Sheringham Nursery School and Children’s Centre where the hub is located to see the services on offer.
Family Hubs are designed to offer early support to children, young people and families, building upon the existing early help offer. Support on offer includes antenatal and maternity health services, health visitors and school nurses as well as infant feeding support, youth services, parenting advice and early years education and childcare.
Councillor Sarah Ruiz, Cabinet Member for Children and Young People, said: “It is wonderful to see another Family Hub open in Newham and I know families in the area will find it useful to have so many services under one roof. Our Family Hubs have been a useful addition to the Newham neighbourhoods they are already based in and I have no doubt, the latest in Manor Park will also thrive. This is all part of our investment in children and young people to ensure they get the support they need from birth through to adulthood.”
The Family Hub is located at Manor Park Community Children’s Centre, Sheringham Avenue, E12 5PB.
