Family hubs drop-in sessions across the Borough

Families across Telford and Wrekin can now access friendly, face-to-face support more easily with drop-in sessions running weekly in local venues

Published on: 19 June 2025

Each session is delivered by the Telford & Wrekin Council’s family hubs team and offers advice and signposting on parenting, behaviour support, domestic abuse, infant feeding, community & online safety, mental health and other support services.

Alongside support from staff, sessions may include themed discussions, guest speakers and peer-led support through groups such as the Dandelion Peer Parent Support Group.

This is part of the Council’s wider commitment to provide early help and local support, helping families find the right guidance, in the right place, at the right time.

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

“Our family hubs play a vital role in reaching communities with timely, practical support. These sessions help build a stronger, connected community by meeting families where they are.”
