As we approach the end of the longest month of the year (or so it feels in this weather!) we have certainly packed a lot into January 2026.

We have celebrated the official opening of a new family hub, Bevan Family Hub in Bradford, seen the first Family Hub SEND Marketplace of the year, and enjoyed dozens of free sessions for families across the district's family hubs.

Looking ahead, we are getting ready to open the new Keighley Community and Family Hub, with a number of pilot sessions taking place in February, before the timetable officially launches in March.

Also in February we are marking Children's Mental Health Week (9 to 15 February) with a reminder of some of the amazing support for children's mental health in the district. 

As always, this 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.
