The doors to the brand-new Roehampton Family Hub were opened Councillor Simon Hogg, the Leader of Wandsworth Council, creating a newly refurbished and welcoming space for families to access vital free services under one roof.

Now open at 166 Roehampton Lane, SW15 4HR, the Roehampton Family Hub is a welcoming space for everyone in the heart of the community. The Council is ambitious for everyone, and the new Family Hub will help children and families get a better start, and improve their future. From childcare support, birth registrations, and mental health services to after-school activities and employment advice, people of all ages will be able to experience an improved connection and easy access between services at times that meet their needs.

The Hub’s facilities also include a dedicated youth room and IT area, equipped with upgraded wi-fi, where residents can study, job search, or simply browse online.

The Family Hub is one of the first major improvements promised as part of the Alton Renewal Plan which sets out how Wandsworth Council is investing in the Roehampton community and its future. The new facility, Wandsworth Council says in a press release, reflects its “ongoing efforts to work in partnership to provide the expertise, resources, and support necessary for residents to thrive.” Wandsworth says it has been carefully listening to local views and feedback on youth and family services, so the Family Hub marks a major step in enhancing services and opportunities for the local community.

“The Roehampton Family Hub is not just a building – it is a commitment to every family, every parent, and every young person in this community,” Councillor Kate Stock, Cabinet Member for Children, said. “It’s a space where everyone is welcome and can find the support they need to succeed and grow. We’ve listened closely to the community’s requests for better facilities and services, and this Hub is a reflection of our deep commitment to investing in Roehampton and the Alton estate. We believe that by investing in spaces like this, we’re investing in the future of our community.”

Free services at the Hub include:

Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services
Midwifery Services
Educational Psychologists
Citizens Advice Bureau
English Language Lessons and Digital Skills Sessions
Domestic Abuse Helpline
Rackets Cubed Social Supermarket and much more!

The Roehampton Family Hub is open weekdays from 9am-5pm and located at 166 Roehampton Lane, SW15 4HR.

“We are delighted to be continuing our Bundles in Partnership programme, providing clothes and other essentials to babies and children under five, from the Roehampton Family Hub,” Kate Moon, Chief Executive of Little Village, one of the Hub’s partners, said. “Our mission of “bringing about change for children and families through the power of sharing, reusing, and connecting” is right at the heart of this community space and it is incredible to see the range of services on offer here to the residents of Roehampton.”
