Guests took part in activities including a boxing demonstration, crafting and fun activities and face painting.

“In Enfield, we have gone the extra mile re-designing service delivery to integrate the Family Hub within the Ponders End Youth Centre, creating a warm, welcoming, and accessible place for children, young people, and families, providing a fantastic range of services and support to help them thrive.

“Our doors are open, providing support for any family, child or young person living in Enfield who needs it. I hope that as many people as possible will sign up for the activities on offer and utilise the services, help and support that is available.”

The Council is investing in supporting Enfield families and delivering on its promises for its local communities, the launch of the Youth and Family Hub is one of the commitments set out in the Council Plan for 2023 to 2026.
