Relocation of services to Deptford Family Hub

Dear Parents and Carers,

Best Start Family Hubs services from Evelyn Family Hub are now delivered from Deptford Family Hub and Honor Oak Family Hub.

This decision has been made carefully, and for a number of important reasons:

· In this part of the borough, we currently have several Best Start Family Hubs close together (Evelyn, Deptford and Honor Oak). This means services are spread across too many sites.

· Bringing services together will allow us to provide a more consistent and reliable experience for families, with staff available more regularly at each Best Start Family Hub.

· By reducing the number of sites, we can ease pressure on staffing and ensure teams are better supported to deliver high-quality services.

· This change will also help us manage our budget carefully, so we can continue providing support in the long term.

We want to emphasise that you and your family will continue to be supported. The teams at Deptford and Honor Oak Family Hubs will welcome you and more information on the timetable and other activities can be found at: www.lewishamfamilyhubs.org.uk.

We know this is a change, and we are here to help you through it. If you have any questions or would like support with accessing services at another Hub, please do speak to a member of staff.

Thank you for your understanding and for being part of the Evelyn Family Hub community.

With best wishes, Best Start Family Hub Service Team
