We're working with partners in York to develop a Family Hub model, funded by the Department for Education.
We’re developing Raise York because we believe that all children and young people in York deserve the best start and the chance to thrive. Every family, child and young person should be able to get help, information and support at the right time and place. They should be able to reach their full potential and lead healthy, happy lives.
Families and communities help provide a foundation for children and young people to grow, develop and feel safe. Raise York brings together children; young people; families; communities and professionals so everyone can get the connections, help and support they want and need.
Raise York is a network of people, places and online support. It supports children, young people and families from pregnancy to adulthood. You can expect a warm welcome in your local community and to be guided to the right support for you.
Family Hubs timescales
We’ll start to pilot some of our Raise York family hub community sites from July 2023 and will have at least 3 sites in place by March 2024. We’ll be sharing more information on where the sites will be and how you can use them.
Raise York will also include joined-up family support services across the city, available through outreach provision, and an online hub, so you can access information whenever you need it.
Get involved with Family Hubs
We're co-designing Raise York with families, carers, and young people, and childcare and health professionals. We’re working with a group of parents and carers to make sure that the support and information available at Raise York is accessible to everyone.
