FAMILY FOCUS PROJECT OFFER

Morning all,

Please share our Family Focus Offer with your teams and partners. Together, we can make a real difference for families in Middlesbrough—especially those hardest hit by the cost-of-living crisis.

FAMILY FOCUS PROJECT OFFER

Many families in our community are experiencing increased pressure from rising household costs. To support them, we’re providing FREE open-access community drop-ins and parent groups in North Ormesby and Whinney Banks.

These sessions offer a safe, welcoming, and non-judgemental space where parents can access information, guidance, and support—and be connected to the right services at the right time.

We also provide intensive one-to-one support for parents who may need more tailored help.

Attached you will find:

• West Middlesbrough Family Hub Drop-in Activities Flyer
• North Ormesby Drop-in Flyer

We can also consider funding for transport and childcare to help parents attend these sessions, based on individual needs.

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

• Share the flyer within your teams: on social media, notice boards, your intranet, and in any parent communications.
• Book a short Teams session with me to learn more about our service offer and how we can support the families you work with.
• Encourage parents to attend our community drop-ins—parents can self-refer for support.

Thank you for your continued partnership in helping children feel safe, settled, and ready to thrive.

Regards,
