Two new family hub launch dates
We would like to invite you to the launch of our second and third family hubs. Free family fun activities, entertainment, refreshments, service information and more. No advanced booking required.
The Family Hub website
The Family Hub website is the new home for the Family Information Service and the Local Offer for SEND (special educational needs and disabilities). It's also where you can find out more about family hubs, what services they offer and where to find your nearest family hub.
Our first Family Hub at Fulham’s Stephen Wiltshire Centre on Queensmill Road was launched in March 2024. The hub specialises in supporting residents and families with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and is open Monday to Sunday, 10am to 6pm.

Cllr Alex Sanderson, Cabinet Member for Children and Education, announced the hub’s opening, saying:
The development of Family Hubs is a key manifesto commitment, making it simpler for families to access a wide range of services to ensure they receive the right help at the right time.
“Placing Family Hubs at the centre of our communities means that we are making the lives of our residents easier by bringing council services to the community, instead of expecting the community to come to us.
“Our vision is for every child, every young person, every individual and family to be happy, to be healthy and to have the opportunity to thrive, supported by an effective and compassionate community network.”
The hub is the first of three opening in H&F in 2024. The second and third hubs will be opening in April at:
- Family Hub Old Oak Community Centre, 76 Braybrook Street, W12 0AP
- Family Hub Tudor Rose Community Centre, Fulham Court, SW6 5PG.
What are Family Hubs?
H&F’s Family Hubs are a one-stop-shop for resident support services.
We are opening three across the borough to make it easier for you and your family to access the support you need without visiting multiple organisations.
The hubs will also make sure our partners can work together efficiently.
Our hubs are open to all residents and will house services including:
- help to stop smoking
- mental health support
- career support with H&F Works
- parenting classes
- help with infant feeding
- youth clubs
- exercise classes.
Our family hubs have been co-produced with local organisations Action on Disability, ParentsActive and Young Hammersmith & Fulham Foundation.
H&F Family Voices
H&F Family Voices will provide users of the Family Hubs the opportunity to meet up, discuss, and feedback on how the Family Hubs are going. This will ensure residents are being listened to and can help to improve our Family Hubs.
