Family Hubs (Stay & Play and family fitness sessions)
ABOUT THIS PROGRAMME
Family support sessions delivered in partnership with Sheffield Family Hubs in the Hillsborough, Ecclesfield and Richmond areas of Sheffield, running since January 2024. Free drop-in Stay and Play sessions offer sensory play, soft play, arts and crafts, music and physical activity for parents and carers with babies and young children, alongside bookable fitness sessions for parents. The programme provides postnatal support, promotes healthy lifestyles that families can sustain at home, and signposts families to Sheffield Family Hubs and other local support services. In 2025 Sheffield City Council funding expanded the programme to train parents as Family Hubs leaders.
