Councillor Sarah Hill, cabinet member for children's services, said: "It's great news that a brand-new Family Hub is launching in Chell Heath. The vision for Family Hubs is to create easily accessible family support for everyone, in the knowledge that strong family relationships enhance the wellbeing of individuals and communities alike. 

"We know that more early support means more children can remain with their families and fewer children need to come into care. This means every Family Hub is extra vital early help to keep children safely with their families.

"A Family Hub means that families in the area will have access to a wider range of services and activities with the ability to drop in and link with services to support families. It's also a new and improved centre after we've carried out works to the building so I'd encourage families in the area to come down on 24 October and find out what's on offer."

Family Hubs are currently open in Tunstall, Normacot and Bentilee with other sites currently being developed.
