Have your say on Family Hubs and services
Friday 17 March 2023
New Family hubs will be rolled out in five locations across Sunderland making use of existing Family Centres. We currently have four Family Centres - Bunnyhill in Hylton Castle, Thorney Close in the West, The Rainbow Centre in Washington and Coalfield Family Centre in Hetton. We will soon be opening a fifth in the East of Sunderland.
The hubs will bring together wider wraparound services that can make a huge difference to people who need extra support - such as advice on getting into work, relationship building and stop smoking services.
If you use or have an interest in the services provided to children and families in Sunderland we invite you to take part in our public consultation. Locations, dates and times are listed below:
