Valley Park Family Hub will shortly relocate from Norton Avenue to Bankwood Primary School, Bankwood Close, S14 1LW.

This move will allow us to better serve our amazing community, enhancing connections and accessibility. This change has been made thanks to valuable feedback from our service users and partners.

More outreach groups will be set up in the Herdings Park area. We have space in the new Callow Community Hub and activities will continue at the Lowedges Community Centre to best serve the Valley Park Family Hub area.

Stay tuned for more details on our new location.
