The Mayor of Barnsley, Cllr James Michael Stowe, welcomed families at Kendray and Worsbrough Family Centre yesterday (August 31) where they celebrated the first family hub of the borough.

The hub, the council says, will offer a wide range of services, guidance, help and support in the local community whenever they need it.

“Our Family Hubs will allow people to share their needs once, and our amazing team of professionals work together like never before to address any challenges families might be facing.”

The Family Hubs and Start for Life project is a £3.4million investment and it will build on the council’s Family Centres, providing additional services.
