Family Hubs
Our Family Hubs provide a wide range of information, activities and services in your local area including health, learning and play activities, childcare, family support, employment support, housing advice, money and benefits advice and much more.
We know that all families need support from time to time to look after their wellbeing and help their babies and children thrive.
Our Family Hubs are a place where families, friends and professionals can come together in a relaxed and friendly environment and support each other to achieve this.
Services provided at Buxton Primary School as part of the Family Hubs programme are in partnership with:
Best Start in Life
Family Hubs activities for children aged 0 to 5 are part of Best Start in Life, a government-funded programme supporting Waltham Forest's parents and carers with their children’s growth.
You can find Best Start in Life services in all four Family Hubs and other community spaces throughout every neighbourhood in the borough.
Holiday Activity and Food (HAF) Programme
Waltham Forest runs a holiday activity and food programme for 5 to 16 year-olds who are in receipt of benefits-related Free School Meals (FSM). Whether they are into arts and crafts, drama, sports outdoor adventures, there is something for everyone to get involved in!
These holiday clubs are completely free and include a daily meal during the summer holidays, but booking is essential on all activities to guarantee a space for your child. Eligible participants will receive a letter from their school with a unique code to be used for bookings.
To ensure all eligible children have access to our programme, your child is able to book up to 10 sessions during the Summer holidays from Monday 29 July to Friday 23 August 2024, at no cost to you. If your child/children can no longer attend the activity please ensure it is cancelled via the booking system or letting the provider know. If the child/children do not attend 2 booked sessions, all remaining booked sessions for the summer will be cancelled.
Call 020 8496 4788 or email WFholidayactivityprogramme@walthamforest.gov.uk for more information.
