“School holidays can sometimes be a challenge for parents, especially when it comes to finding things for children to do that won’t break the bank. That’s why I’m so pleased to see Croydon Family Hubs working with local organisations to offer a great mix of affordable fun for local families this summer.
“These extra events are on top of the usual busy summer schedule at our Family Hubs and Children’s Centres, which includes activity, advice and help for Croydon’s families on everything from infant feeding and toddler singing groups to Citizens Advice sessions.”
