First family hubs opens in West Northants with more locations to open this year

14 April 2025

Over 270 people joined us to mark the opening of the first Family Hub in West Northamptonshire, located at the Forum in Towcester at the end of March. We welcomed parents, carers, children, and young people to see first-hand the support which is available.

The Towcester Family Hub offers services for children, young people, and their parents from pre-birth to 19 years, and up to 25 years for those with additional needs. Families can enjoy a variety of bookable and drop-in sessions. We're excited to have Strong Start join our team, and we're introducing a new youth space for young people to socialise, unwind, and access support.

Following the opening of our first location, we will be starting to launch our consultation this May to engage local residents on the proposed locations for additional Family Hubs across West Northamptonshire. These include hubs in the following proposed areas:

• Daventry
• Northampton Town
• Kingsthorpe
• Upton
• Moulton
• Brackley
• Weston Favell
• Far Cotton 

The consultation launched in May will run through into June, and after which these hubs will begin to go live later in 2025 into 2026. A number of these locations seeks to expand services for children and young people within the existing children’s centres. We are committed to expanding services and the local offer to better serve our community.
