Tamworth Family Hubs

Centre

The purpose of a family hub is to ensure young children get the best start in life and that their families are supported to help them achieve this.

At our family hubs families with young children can access a range of services, participate in activities and get information about what is going on locally. Family Hubs work together with lots of other partners that offer support to families including:,

  • Jobcentre Plus
  • Adult learning
  • Health Visitors
  • Midwives

We also have some targeted/specialist services such as family support services as we all can need a little help sometimes.  

Family Hubs are designed to serve the local community, your local centre will depend on the district that you live in. If you access a family hub service outside of your county additional charges may apply.

Within Tamworth, we have three family Hub buildings delivering services. 

  • Glascote Family Hub, Hawsworth, Tamworth B77 2ER.
  • Leyfields Family Hub, Masefield drive, Tamworth B79 8JB.
  • Basin Lane family Hub, Basin Lane Tamworth B77 2AH.

To find out what activities we have being delivered within these family hubs and your local community please click on the Tamworth Family Hub Activities Timetable link under downloads at the bottom of this page, alternatively you can also visit our Facebook page. Sensory Room hire available at both Leyfields and Glascote Family Hub sites. See advert for details.
