One-stop family hubs to be opened in all English council areas Government announces £500m project to provide single-point of access for health, education and wellbeing services

The Foundations Toolkit has information on interventions shown to make a difference and we’ll be supporting local authorities to use this resource as they develop their Family Hubs.” There is smaller, additional copy below this which reads: Find out more: foundations.org.uk. There is a head-and-shoulders image of Jo. Jo has light skin and long straight medium-brown hair that she is wearing loose. Jo is wearing a black jacket with simple white trim along it's edges. Jo is smiling at the camera.
