Family Hub Network
The Buckinghamshire Family Hub Network is a county-wide initiative designed to make it easier for families to access support, advice, and services throughout their parenting journey—from pregnancy through to age 19, or up to 25 for those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND)
🌈 What It Offers
The network acts as a one-stop shop for:
- Parenting support
- Mental health and wellbeing
- Financial advice
- Pregnancy and baby care
- Youth services and education
- Local activities and community groups
Families can access help in family centres, community spaces, or online, making support flexible and accessible
🤝 Who’s Involved
The Family Hub Network brings together a wide range of partners:
- Buckinghamshire Council
- Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust
- Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust
- Schools and education providers
- Voluntary, community, and faith groups
- Social enterprises and charities like Kooth and One Can Trust
🧭 How It Works
Families can:
- Visit a local hub for direct support

- Get help early to prevent issues from escalating
The network is active across Aylesbury Vale, Chiltern & South Bucks, and Wycombe, with hubs like the Hithercroft Family Centre in High Wycombe hosting events and drop-in sessions
