This Volunteers Week, we want to take a moment to say a huge thank you to all of our incredible Family Hub volunteers. 💛

Your dedication, kindness, and time make such a difference to the families and children who come through our doors. Whether you're helping run sessions, offering a friendly face, or quietly keeping things running behind the scenes — none of it goes unnoticed.

You are the heart of our Hub, and we are so grateful for everything you do. Thank you for showing up, week after week, and for the warmth and care you bring to our community.

With so much appreciation,
Lichfield Family Hub Team.

To celebrate our first growing together session at Lichfield Family Hub this Wednesday, we will be giving the first 20 families we meet a special goodie bag to welcome you!

Inside you will find
💚 fidget toys
💚 bubbles
💚 Sweet treats
💚 plus some handy information of local things on offer for children and families with SEND.

We can't wait to meet you all for a cuppa and a chat whilst the children enjoy some wonderful activities tailored for young children with additional needs.
