Liverpool Expands Family Hubs Network to 11 Across the City

Liverpool now has 11 Family Hubs operating across the city as Liverpool City Council continues its ambition to establish a hub in every neighbourhood.

Five new hubs have opened so far this year, adding to six already in place. 

Once the full programme is complete, the number of Family Hubs in Liverpool will have more than doubled, increasing from five to twelve and ensuring every community can access support close to home.

Family Hubs expand access to support for Liverpool families

Building on the strengths of Liverpool’s long-established Children’s Centres, Family Hubs provide a single, welcoming space where families with children and young people aged 0–19, or up to 25 for those with special educational needs or disabilities, can access coordinated support.

There are now Family Hubs operating in Clubmoor, Fountains, Granby, Picton, Speke, Stoneycroft, Fazakerley, Kensington, Belle Vale, Wavertree and Dovedale. 

The expansion marks a significant step towards creating a citywide network designed to improve access to services and early help within local communities.

Residents can find out more about their nearest hub and the services available via the Liverpool City Council website.

Council reiterates ambition for a hub in every neighbourhood

Cllr Joanne Kennedy, Cabinet Member for Employment, Educational Attainment & Skills at Liverpool City Council, said:

“Our ambition was that every neighbourhood in Liverpool could access its own Family Hub, and this expansion means that we’re now well on our way to delivering that.

“Over recent weeks, we’ve had a flurry of launch events at the new hubs, and I’ve been blown away by how many families have turned up to see what their local hub has to offer. 

“This just shows how needed these hubs are and will be to providing families with the right support within their own communities.

“Family Hubs are there to ensure families can find a multitude of resources and activities designed to support their health, education, and wellbeing, in a supportive environment.

“Please go and visit your local Family Hub once it’s open to find out more about the services they can offer.”

The continued rollout reflects the council’s long-term commitment to strengthening support for children, young people and families, ensuring services are accessible, visible and rooted within the communities they serve.
