Parents and carers in Plymouth can attend the launch event for the new Laira Green Primary School satellite Family Hub on Friday 19 June, from 3pm to 5pm.
The event is being held at Laira Green Primary School in Plymouth and is free to attend. It is open to parents, carers and children, with free activities for children and a chance for adults to find out what support will be available through the new hub.
The satellite Family Hub has been set up by Laira Green Primary School in partnership with Barnardo’s, bringing family and wellbeing services onto the school site.

The launch is designed as a practical first look at the new satellite Family Hub. Children will be able to take part in free activities, while parents and carers can speak to people involved in the services and learn what help may be available locally.
Plymouth’s Family Hubs offer support for families from pregnancy through childhood and up to age 19. For young people with special educational needs and disabilities, support can continue up to age 25.
Barnardo’s support will be available from the school site
The partnership means a range of Barnardo’s support services will be delivered directly from Laira Green Primary School. The council said the aim is to make it easier for local families to access help in a familiar setting, rather than having to navigate support from a distance.
Barnardo’s works with children, young people and families facing different challenges. The services described for the hub include support around emotional wellbeing, mental health, family relationships, parenting guidance, attendance and engagement, safeguarding, and early intervention.
For families who already have a connection with the school, the satellite hub could make conversations about support easier to start. The school setting is also intended to help remove some of the barriers that can stop people from seeking assistance early.
Readers following family support services elsewhere may also find this related coverage of free Family Hub launch events useful for wider context.
What parents and carers can find out on the day
The launch event will give parents and carers a chance to hear about services available through the new hub and meet people involved in delivering them.
The practical picture:
- Free children’s activities will be available during the launch event.
- Parents and carers can find out about Barnardo’s support services.
- The hub will offer access to experienced Barnardo’s practitioners.
- Support may include one-to-one help, targeted programmes and signposting to other services.
- The event is open to families on Friday 19 June, between 3pm and 5pm.
Councillor Tess Blight, Cabinet Member for Education, Skills and Apprenticeships, said the partnership would strengthen support for children and families in the community by bringing services closer to where people live and learn.
Councillor Jemima Laing, Cabinet Member for Children’s Services, said Family Hubs give parents and carers a place to access support, attend events and liaise with service providers.
A new role for Laira Green Primary School
Laira Green Primary School said the new satellite Family Hub forms part of its wider work supporting pupils’ wellbeing as well as education.
Claire Jones, Headteacher of Laira Green Primary School, said schools are often at the heart of local neighbourhoods and that working with Barnardo’s would help families access specialist services when they need them most.
The hub is expected to create opportunities for families to engage with Barnardo’s practitioners through one-to-one support, targeted programmes and signposting to additional services.
The confirmed next step for families is the free launch event at Laira Green Primary School on Friday 19 June, 3pm to 5pm.
