Families in Coventry have been learning about the support available through the new Coventry Families Portal, launched this week by the City Council.

An information event held by the City Council aimed to introduce residents to the Coventry Families Portal, demonstrating how to log on and access a wide range of services for themselves and their children. The portal is designed to benefit the people of Coventry by providing comprehensive information.
The resource includes details on events and activities at the Best Start Family Hubs, support for school holidays, educational information, and advice on pregnancy. It also offers health advice, financial, family, and housing support, assistance for those experiencing domestic abuse, and more.
The relaunch event, which took place at the Salvation Army base in Upper Well Street, featured various activities for families and children, such as a digital treasure hunt, crafts, and games. Attendees had the opportunity to speak with staff from the Family Hubs and other professionals to identify suitable support.

"The Coventry Families Portal is a fantastic resource, giving people easy, instant access to advice and support on a wide range of issues around family life. It is already a go-to site for many, and this event helped us to spread the word a little further and remind people that they are not alone and that there is expert help available when they need it – for them and their loved ones. I would urge anyone who not yet logged on to visit the site – it really can make such a difference."
