From April 2026, Southend Family Centres are becoming Best Start Family Hubs
Southend Family Centres are becoming Best Start Family Hubs following the government’s announcement that the Best Start Family Hubs programme will be introduced nationally from April 2026.
You'll start to see the Best Start in Life branding and logo appearing across our leaflets, posters, and online information and see and hear about new groups, services, activities and courses starting in Best Start Family Hubs across the City.
If you'd like to learn more about the national rollout of Best Start Family Hubs, further information is available on the central government website.
