Family Centres

The more we get together, the happier, healthier, more confident and connected we’ll be!

Raising children is a big, important and sometimes challenging job. Most families need at least a little support to thrive, and that’s where Family Centres come in.

With eight locations across London, Family Centres bring together parents, families, service providers, neighbours and friends to make the ordinary and extraordinary experiences of raising children just a little bit easier for all London families. Like every big, important job, it’s so much better when we tackle it together. 

Through free and low cost programs and events, they help families connect with each other, to neighbours and to the important community services and resources they need for parenting and family life. This includes play groups with crafts, music and stories, programs to introduce children to math, science, and reading, and parenting workshops on children’s behaviour and development. What’s more, with play at the heart of every Family Centre, families learn new ways to have fun together, make new friends, access a range of programming and get the support they need to thrive, all in one, friendly and accessible space!

“At Family Centres, we like to say that one door means unlimited opportunities for all London children, youth and families, of every possible kind.” A Community Connector will greet you when you arrive, and work to understand your needs. If needed, they can make the connection to a service on your behalf, tell you more about how a service can support you and your family, or even make the call to a new service together with you. No matter your path, Community Connectors are there for you with their warm, welcoming ways and a focus on helping your family thrive.

Thanks to Family Centres, more London families feel connected, included and supported, and the more we get together, the happier, healthier, more confident and connected our entire community will be. So if you’re looking for a place for your family to connect, play and have fun, visit London’s Family Centres.
