Damson family hub in Donnington will officially open its door on Monday 28 July, with a drop-in launch event from 10am to midday at Donnington Community Hub

Families are invited to come along, enjoy free activities and find out more about the support available for children, young people and parents in the local area.

The hub is part of Telford & Wrekin Council’s wider network of family hubs, designed to be welcoming, one-stop spaces where families can access support, guidance and activities all in one place.

Services brought together under one roof include early years support, parenting help, mental health support and help with education and employment.

Councillor Shirley Reynolds, Cabinet Member for Children, Young People, Education, Employment and Skills said:

“We know how important it is for families to access help in places where they feel comfortable and familiar. This new hub in Donnington will offer joined-up support, right in the heart of the community.

“Whether families need parenting advice, support with child development or simply want to connect with local services, we are pleased to be opening another welcoming space where families can get the right help at the right time”

At the launch event, families can enjoy free children’s activities, face painting and explore information stalls hosted by local services.  This is the first of two new family hubs opening in Donnington, with a second site set to launch in August to support even more families in the area.

Each family hub in the Borough is named after a tree, reflecting the strength and stability of our community and celebrating Telford and Wrekin’s status as the “Tree City of the World” achievement.

Following the launch, family hubs will expand its offer to include services in Donnington. To keep up to date and find out what support and sessions are available in your area, visit: www.telford.gov.uk/familyhubs
