The Family Hub

The Family Hub

The Family Hub provides support across Edinburgh to families whose children are not yet in an early learning and childcare setting.

Families can access support on a one-to-one basis and through our Family Hub group work spaces.

Support can include:

  • Group work opportunities to enjoy play with your children and meet other parents
  • One-to-one home visiting to enhance your family learning
  • A range of parenting programmes
  • Signposting to specialist services as required
  • Access to Citizens Advice Edinburgh for income maximisation support
  • Access to mental health support for you and your baby with therapeutic support provided by NHS Lothian’s Parent and Infant Relationship Service

For more information, you can email: thefamilyhub@homestartedinburgh.org.uk or reach us via this secure email address: ci.loth.hsedinburgh@nhs.scot.

You can link into support via your health visitor, or can complete this referral form. Alternatively, you can just drop into one of our family hubs.
