Our Family Hubs support the delivery of services for families, children and young people aged from pre-birth to 19 years old (or up to 25 years for anyone with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities). We have 23 Family Hubs across Cornwall.

All children have the right to access services and support. Each Family Hub follows the National Centre for Family Hubs' three key delivery principles of access, connection and relationships.
