What we do
Providing a Child and Family Support Service to children, young people and their families aged 0-19 across the Eden Valley
Earlier this year, Westmorland and Furness Council after consultation, took the decision to bring the Family Help service back in house through their newly established Family Hubs.
The service, previously contracted to Family Action, Barnardo’s and Action for Children across the Westmorland and Furness council area, will be managed by the council from April 1 2025.
Please be assured that the service supporting children, young people and their families will continue to be offered by Westmorland and Furness council and the aim is that you – our families – will experience as little change as possible.
Currently, our services are running as normal and will do so until our contract comes to an end on the 1 April. After this date, the team will be employed by Westmorland and Furness council and will continue to deliver the service. To ensure a smooth transition and minimal disruption of the service, we are working closely with the council and their delivery teams.
If you have any questions relating to the change in service provider, we encourage you to speak directly with our staff at the centre, or, if you have one, your key support worker.
We will continue to provide updates over the coming weeks during this period of change. You can keep updated on the change through our Facebook page.
