Family Hub Support
Have you heard the saying that children don’t come with a manual? Well, it’s true, and that’s why every parent and carer that you know has probably needed a bit of help at some point in time.
What is on offer in Wiltshire?
Alongside our parenting programmes and one-to-one outreach support in the home, we also have a team of family navigators who are available in different locations at different times throughout the week so that you can drop in and get the help that you are looking for.
This could be:
- Helping you find groups for you or your children in the community such as toddler groups, youth groups, adult learning opportunities and community events etc.
- Linking you in with organisations who can help with things like debt advice, housing support, mental and emotional wellbeing, volunteering and health advice. If you’re not yet feeling too confident to ‘go it alone’ then our family navigators will help with that too.
- Providing a listening ear when you don’t know where to go next and the things you are trying aren’t quite working.
- Supporting you to complete applications for pre-school, school or colleges and any other paperwork related to family life, because some of it is more complicated that it needs to be!
You can find where we are by viewing the timetable below.
