FAMILY HUBS
Free parenting support app from Greater Manchester and One Stockport Family Hubs.
​One Stockport Family Hubs has partnered with Greater Manchester Family Hubs and Essential Parent to offer a free app for parents, parents-to-be and carers.
​
The app includes more than 2,000 expert-written videos and articles to support you from pregnancy through to your child’s teenage years.
​
How the app works
You can personalise the app by adding your due date or your child’s date of birth. This helps you receive tailored information for your stage of pregnancy or your child’s age. You’ll also get updates from your local Family Hub team.
The app includes details of local groups and services in Stockport, and the content is available in 75 languages.
