New Family Hubs in Bramhall, Cheadle and Marple: your front door to better family support

Accessing Family Hub support in these areas is easy. Visit your local library in Bramhall, Cheadle, Cheadle Hulme, Heald Green, High Lane or Marple, or Life Leisure in Cheadle, to speak to staff trained to connect families to the right people and resources.

With all Stockport libraries now offering family support, more families have local access to information, help, and support with all aspects of family life. To find your nearest Family Hubs access point, visit our One Stockport Family Hubs web pages for a complete list and map.

Cllr Wendy Meikle, Cabinet Member for Children, Families and Education said: “We want to ensure parents, young people and children are supported and know where they can turn for information and help on all aspects of family life. There is now a clear and simple way for families with children of all ages to access help and support through our Family Hubs network and One Stockport Local community partners.”

Alongside the network of Family Hub buildings, support is also available from our Family Hubs web pages. The online hub brings together a lot of information and tools, enabling families, young people and professionals to access a whole range of information and advice in one place. It is another crucial way to reach more families and continue our support work.

Cllr Meikle continues: “One Stockport Family Hubs form a vital part of One Stockport Local, which is bringing together help and support to make it easier for people to help themselves, their families, and those they care for. Family Hubs, whether in local neighbourhoods or accessed digitally, are places where information, help and support can be easily found in one place.”

Relationships are at the heart of everything we do in Family Hubs. They connect existing services, which already have connections with families. These services work together and offer access to other council, NHS, voluntary, and community support through one ‘front door’, reducing inequality and improving outcomes for children and families.

They are places where parents of children aged between 0 and 19 (or 25 for young people with special educational needs or disabilities) only need to tell their story once to receive a whole host of information, advice, and support on a range of topics, including parenting, family health, relationships, education, employment, and more.

Family Hubs are part of our One Stockport Local neighbourhoods and prevention ambitions which aim to create happy and healthy lives for everyone living in Stockport. From Stockport Local appointments in libraries to Stockport Local money maximiser roadshows and our Stockport Local online directory we are introducing a whole host of ways to get early help and support to make it easier for people to help themselves, their families, and those they care for.
