Families encouraged to share views on new family hub locations before 6 July

30 June 2025

Families across West Northamptonshire are encouraged to have their say on where new Family Hubs should be located, as part of a consultation that closes on Sunday 6 July.

West Northamptonshire Council (WNC) is planning to expand its network of Family Hubs, one-stop centres offering a wide range of support for families from pregnancy through to age 19 (or 25 for those with additional needs).

Following the successful launch of the first Family Hub in Towcester, new sites are being proposed in Daventry, Northampton town centre, and other local areas. To ensure these hubs are accessible and meet the needs of local communities, WNC is inviting residents to complete a short online survey.

“We want to make sure these new Family Hubs are located in accessible locations for our families and ensure that they deliver the kind of support families actually need.

“This engagement gives families, young people, and professionals the chance to help shape services in their communities.”Cllr Kathryn Shaw, Cabinet Member for Children, Families and Education

The consultation is open until midnight on Sunday 6 July. Take part or find out more at: https://westnorthants.citizenspace.com/family-hubs/help-develop-services
