Blaydon Winlaton Family Hub

Gateshead's Family Hubs provide a welcoming space for families and the wider community.

Our Family Hubs support families from conception to the age of two to give all children the best start in life. We continue to support families of children up the age of 19 and to age 25 for young people who have special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).

Our hubs are also open to other members of the community who may need more help.

There are nine Family Hubs located across Gateshead. More support is available from community locations right across the borough.

We also offer a virtual Start for Life and Family Hub if you are unable to attend one of our centres.

Our Blaydon Winlaton Family Hub offers a full programme of activities for all ages from birth onwards. Where booking is essential please call 0191 433 5579 to book a place. For further information about anything on offer at Blaydon Winlaton Family Hub email familyhubs@gateshead.gov.uk.
