Family Hubs SEND Roundup
Sensory play area at Brassey Gardens Family Hub
Wirral’s Family Hubs offer single front door access to services for advice, support and fun activities. Did you know that you can go to any Hub across the Wirral? It doesn’t matter where you live, you are welcome to drop into any Family Hub and talk to our welcoming and knowledgeable staff.
Rather than trying to contact different agencies, support is joined up and in one place, helping you to get the right support at the right time.
You can find more information on the Hubs at www.wirral.gov.uk and at Family Toolbox. We’ve put together a handy list of some of the SEND activities and support that is currently on offer in the Hubs.
