Family hubs

Blackpool Family Hubs and Children's Centres

Blackpool Council's family hubs and children's centres act as a one-stop shop for a variety of services.

They are somewhere your child can make friends and learn as they play. A place you can get professional advice on health and family matters, learn about training and job opportunities or just drop in for a chat.

Types of centres

There are two types of centres in Blackpool. These work together so residents can access a range of services that are in walking distance from their homes:
