"If you invest at the earliest possible point in the child’s life – in pre pregnancy support, in the first 1,001 critical days – we can get it right." We share what our experience of supporting whole families and communities through Family Hubs and Children Centres has shown us in Children & Young People Now. Universal and targeted support that provides early help is critical to happy and healthy families. It's vital that these services have the long term funding needed to enable them to have a lasting impact and improve outcomes for families and communities.

"We warmly welcome the new government’s missions to 'raise the healthiest generation of children ever' and 'break down barriers to opportunity'. Evidence-based early years services and integrated support for families will be vital if this vision is to become reality.” Family Action has joined organisations across the sector to call for continued funding for Family Hubs and Start for Life – read the full statement here: https://bit.ly/4bYtVkg
The Start for Life and Family Hubs programme currently provides dedicated central government funding to 75 local authorities for both research-based, high-quality early years services and a joining-up of services for families from pregnancy through to 19 (and 25 in some cases). Along with a number of organisations from across the children’s sector, including two major coalitions, and local government bodies, we are urging the new government to maintain funding beyond March 2025, when it is due to end. If funding does end next year, this may mean services that many families only began to access 12 months ago are withdrawn. For local authorities, a crucial plank in their children and families strategies may become unsustainable. Given the government’s stated aims to “raise the healthiest generation of children ever” and to “break down barriers to opportunity”, we believe as a sector that it would be counterproductive to remove this funding until it has its own clear, longer-term and deliverable early years and family help strategy in place.
