It's been welcomed by local MP Nus Ghani
East Sussex will receive one of 75 new Family Hubs under plans to Level Up access to childcare, mental health services, housing advice, and employment across England.
As part of Government’s plans to support vulnerable children and families, 75 councils across the country will receive a share of £302 million to build a new network of family hubs. These hubs will be offering advice for parents on how to take care of their child and make sure they are safe and healthy, and providing services including parenting and breastfeeding support.
Additionally, 300,000 vulnerable families will receive targeted support from a dedicated keyworker to overcome challenges at the earliest stage, helping parents and children to stay together safely.
Nus Ghani said: “I welcome the announcement of a new family hub for East Sussex. It is vital that families living in Wealden and across East Sussex have access to high quality services to support them and their children’s development. This funding will also ensure that vulnerable families and young people leaving care can access key support services in one place, helping to make a positive difference within our communities.”
