Welcome to your January 2026 newsletter!
Spring is (almost) in the air. As we move into March it is a special time for lots of our district's families and colleagues
Many will be observing Ramadan or Lent, fasting or giving up treats, and looking forward to the festivals of Eid and Easter in a few weeks. We would like to extend very best wishes to everyone practicing their faith in special ways this month.
Change is also in the air this month - and we are bringing you news of an update to the logos we use for Family Hubs. You can find out more in the article below. The official time to change the logo will be from April, but you will start to see gradual changes before then.
As always; this month's newsletter is packed with information and support from the Family Hubs and other trusted organisations across the district. We also include our ever-popular links to the Family Hub timetables, and useful pages on the FYI (Families and Young Persons Information) website.
Please take a look and share the newsletter with anyone who might find it useful.
