Families in Sheffield are amongst thousands across England that will be offered help and support with issues such as infant feeding, mental health and relationship building thanks to Family Hubs being rolled out in local communities.

Sheffield is one of seventy-five areas that will benefit from the £300 million investment up to 2025, with £5m being awarded to the city. The new hubs will offer support from conception through to age 19, or up to 25 for children with special education needs and disabilities. Strong, supportive families make for more stable communities and happier individuals. The council’s Communities, Parks and Leisure Policy Committee has worked hard to secure the funding to ensure local people have the best chance of living happy family lives and can access the most relevant support when they need it. Councillor Richard Williams said: “We are thrilled that Sheffield has been selected as part of this programme and as a trailblazer authority to support the wider rollout. Our families face so many hurdles now, and this is a huge challenge for local authorities, particularly with the cost-of-living crisis that is affecting so many households so significantly. This funding will support us to provide the right help at the right time, allowing our families and young people to thrive, by giving them the best possible start and having support embedded throughout our communities for each stage of family life.
