On the 27th of September, Sara Britcliffe, Member of Parliament for Hyndburn and Haslingden attended the opening of the area's first Family Hub at The Park Child and Family Centre on Norfolk Grove. Ms Britcliffe was among the attendees, marking the commencement of the Enhanced Multi-Agency Integrated delivery programme. This programme is a collaborative effort involving six core delivery partners, aimed at bolstering support for local families through both digital and physical means, underscored by local partnerships.
The launch showcased the tangible efforts made towards creating a supportive environment for the families in Hyndburn. The MP, along with other stakeholders, had the opportunity to witness the unveiling of the resources available at the hub. This initiative is a reflection of the practical steps taken to address the diverse needs of the community through a locally-driven approach, which was evident during the event.
Moreover, the opening of this Family Hub is the initial phase of a broader plan to establish a network of community resources in Hyndburn. The strategy outlines the establishment of more hubs, signposts, and bridges to extend support across the community. This structured approach aims to ensure that the necessary support is accessible and well-coordinated, catering to various segments of the community.
The launch of the Family Hub in Hyndburn signifies a forward step in community engagement and inter-agency cooperation. It presents a practical model for other communities, illustrating the potential positive impact such initiatives can have.
