Argos Tamworth

Glascote, Leyfields and Basin Lane Family Hubs are the central hubs for delivering early years services throughout the Tamworth 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 centre 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.
