Gavin Kirkup 25th March 2024

A HUGE THANK YOU to all of the incredible volunteers who gave up their time and came out on Sunday to plant 20 fruit trees at Spratton Road Park.

Following the success of the Community Orchard planting last year, we hope the community will be able to enjoy Apples, Pears, Plums and Cherries from this phase of planting as we begin exploring and developing Spratton Road Park into Brixworth’s very own Wellbeing Park.

Consultation: Help us develop services for children, young people and families

Gavin Kirkup 21st March 2024

WNC are looking for views about:

• Establishing local Family Hubs with the aim of ensuring that families with children, aged between 0 to 19 and or young people aged up to 25 with SEND, can access help, advice and support they need for a wide range of services much more easily. This includes exploring different ways to make services accessible – for example building an informative website and creating in-person ‘hubs’ which looks to provide a space/ location where various services are available for families in one place. Family hubs are being considered for the Daventry area, Northampton area and the Towcester area. The planned location of our first Family Hub is The Forum, Moat Lane, in Towcester. The locations for other family hubs is yet to be decided. 
• A proposal to move the activities and services of the Towcester Children’s Centre. Currently the service is provided at The Community Centre, Islington Road, Towcester, and it proposed to move the service into a new Family Hub which will be located within The Forum, Moat Lane, Towcester. 
• Further information which will help develop the new delivery model for our 0 to 19 Public Health Nursing Services. Building on the recently undertaken needs assessment we want to understand what families and young people would like from these services so that we can develop a local service specification which we will further consult on too.  We see the 0 to19 service being delivered hand in hand with our Family Hubs development programme.

This consultation closes midnight Sunday 28 April 2024.
