A new network is offering more help and advice for families in Buckinghamshire.

The Family Hub Network (FHN) aims to make it easier for families and residents to access support.

The network covers Aylesbury Vale, Chiltern & South Bucks, and Wycombe, bringing together local and county-wide organisations.

These include Buckinghamshire Council, Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust, Oxford Health Foundation NHS Trust, and various community groups.

The FHN's role is to either support families directly or guide them to a suitable organisation.

The aim is to match families with services that best fit their needs, using local knowledge and connections.

The Hithercroft Family Centre in High Wycombe held the official launch of the Family Hub Network.

Families attended a Play and Explore session and learned more about how the network operates.

The event was attended by Cabinet Member for Children’s Services and Education, Councillor Anita Cranmer, who said the network provides 'easy access to services, information, advice, and guidance on a variety of topics.'

She added that by working together, the network helps families resolve issues early, reducing the need for more costly services later.

Cassim Kaweesa from Kooth, one of the partner agencies, said: "I am really excited about the Family Hub Network in Bucks, professionals collaborating in this way enables families to get the support they need, in places they know and trust."
