Enfield's Youth and Family Hubs
All families need support from time to time to help their babies and children thrive. Whether that’s from friends, family, volunteers or professionals.
Youth and Family Hubs bring together lots of different services for children and families, making it easier for them to get the help they need at the right time. Offering help and support for families, from pregnancy up until age 19, or 25 for young people with special educational needs and disabilities.
The hubs are welcoming, friendly, and open to all families, children, and young people. They have a family hub navigator to support families and young people to access the help they need.
This whole family approach will ensure that the support provided for children, young people and families is delivered in a holistic and joined-up way.
We will continue to update this page with information and details on new services as and when they are introduced.
