East Staffordshire Family Hub is the central hub for delivering early years services throughout the East Staffordshire District. Our aim is to improve outcomes for young children and their families with a particular focus on the most disadvantaged families, in order to reduce inequalities and improve children's outcomes. We deliver various sessions at the hub and within the local community to ensure families feel supported by professionals and members of their own community. The aim of these groups is to ensure young children get the best start in life and that their families are supported to help them achieve this. Family Hubs are designed to serve the local community. We have a range of community run groups that support families in the community such as, grandparents, children with additional needs, stay and plays, child-minders, parenting program's, twins, breastfeeding..... we are hoping to support these children and their families by offering refreshments which introduce healthy food options to them. The aim of this is to educate and support families to make healthy choices for their children and instilling an ethos of good eating equals healthy lifestyles. We also wish to support those families that are at risk throughout the school holidays who may fall victim to holiday hunger by offering a lunch prepared by our supportive volunteers. This may also lead into identifying additional support we can offer to these families to improve their circumstances and ultimate outcomes.

We are a two form entry infant school in Burton upon Trent. We have a 52 place nursery attached to the school. Our school is located in Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire in the hub of the Eton Park Community. The majority of the children that attends our school and nursery, are living in accommodation with limited or no access to garden space. The housing is of poor quality and this impacts their families and the health and well-being of those in the accommodation. Our school is situated near Eton Community Park and the Trent and Mersey Canal, however these aren’t always accessible to our children due to safety issues and concerns.

We are a local community group with the primary aim of reaching out to help people who are most in need. We receive food surplus from supermarkets within the area and provide for people and families who are going through financial difficulties and struggles within our community. Our work is making a real impact in people's lives and offers valuable support where it is needed most by ensuring people have food at their table. I believe that through the simple act of giving we can overcome many problems we can face in life whilst helping others in our neighbourhood through difficult times. Charity is held to be the ultimate perfection of the human spirit, because it is said to both glorify and reflect the nature of God. ... Charity has two parts: love of God and love of man, which includes both love of one's neighbour and one's self. In 1 Corinthians 13, Paul places the greater emphasis on charity (Love).As a community group this is what we endeavour to achieve.
