West Street Erith Family Hub

About the West Street Family Hub

Families in Bexley now have a dedicated space for early support and community-led services with the successful opening of the borough’s first Family Hub at West Street in Erith.

The Family Hub is built on a simple but powerful vision: to support families as early as possible, reducing the need for statutory social work intervention. Recognising that early support can prevent small challenges from escalating, the Hub provides a welcoming, safe and supportive environment where families can access the help they need.

The Family Hub aims to harness the strength already present in Bexley’s communities. By working alongside local organisations, the Hub ensures that support is not just available but also tailored, friendly and accessible to those who need it most.

Whether you need a quick chat, practical help, or a safe place to connect with other parents, the Family Hub is your local starting point, support, right when you need it. Feel free to walk in or drop us a call, we’re here to help.

You can find out more about the hub in this news article on the Bexley Council website:
