Purpose: Family Hubs Grant funding was due to cease on 31 March 2025, on 20 December 2024 it was announced that the funding for Tameside family hubs would continue, and the service received information on our maximum funding allocation.    All work undertaken since the start of the Family Hubs programme had considered the need to plan for a sustainable model going forward, this has been a priority for both managers and work stream leads.  Given that this funding was for 12 months, sustainability and forward planning will remain a priority.
