The National Centre for Family Hubs (NCFH) is proudly hosting its sixth national conference. This hybrid event invites delegates to participate both online and in-person, offering a unique opportunity to connect with thought leaders and innovators across the country.

Since 2021, the NCFH has partnered with local authorities and leaders from the health, education, voluntary, community, and faith sectors to advocate for the Family Hubs approach—an integrated support system that ensures babies, children, young people, and their families get the right support at the right time.

This year's conference will be an opportunity to celebrate and assess nationwide progress, focusing on participation, evidence, and practice. Attendees will hear from local authorities and partners who have successfully transformed their systems through the Family Hubs and Start for Life Programme, showcasing the positive impact on families accessing these essential services.

The event also presents an exciting opportunity to explore the future of Family Hubs. A session will delve into the evidence base, emphasizing the importance of expanding early years services and integrated family support. We will also hear from local authorities who will be sharing stories of success in the transformation of Family Hubs and Start for Life in their local area.

Don't miss this chance to engage with experts and stakeholders and contribute to shaping the landscape of family support services. Be part of the conversation that drives meaningful change for families nationwide.
