Due to the coronavirus pandemic, all of our Family Centres are closed from 20 March 2020 until further notice.
If you need support, please call our Early Help Advice and Allocations Team on 0191 561 1501 or email EHAAT@togetherforchildren.org.uk.
Together for Children provides a range of activities and services from our Family Centres and other venues across Sunderland.
We currently have five Family Centres across the city that provide a range of support services for local families with children aged 0 to five. Our Centres are a place that your child can make friends and learn as they play, with a variety of free and fun classes from messy play to time for rhyme, all of which support your child’s development.
We also offer additional sessions at a cost, including TechyTots and Relax Kids.
Our Family Centres have Early Help workers on site who are available to chat to you about any concerns you have about your children, your family or your home circumstances. Please contact your nearest Centre to find out more or visit our Sunderland Family Centres Facebook page.
