Best Start Family Hubs is a government initiative. They are a single place to get support for children, young people and families 0 to 19 or to 25 for those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

 

Our Family Hubs and Children's Centres are managed by Barnardo's, Spurgeons, St. Paul's Community Development Trust and The Springfield Project depending on which district of Birmingham they are located in.
