Enfield's Youth and Family Hubs
Enfield's Youth and Family Hubs provide support for families to help their children grow and succeed. They offer various services for children and families, making it easier to get the right help at the right time.
The hubs support families from pregnancy until the child is 19 years old, or 25 years old for those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
The hubs are welcoming and open to all families, children, and young people. A Family Hub Navigator is available on-site to help families and young people in accessing the support they need. This approach ensures that support is provided in a holistic and coordinated manner.
We will update this page with new information and services as they become available.
At Youth and Family Hubs, you can find a variety of support services to help families and children thrive. These include:
- support with early education, childcare, and child development
- health and wellbeing advice for parents, carers, children, and young people
- parenting programmes and one-to-one family support
- baby groups, Stay and Play sessions, and creative activities for children under 5
- antenatal and postnatal classes, breastfeeding and infant feeding support
- speech and language support and developmental reviews
- information and advice on benefits, housing, and cost-of-living support
- help with employment, education, and training opportunities
- appointments with Citizens Advice
- specialised support for families with children with SEND
