Family Hubs and Start for Life funding from
DfE into Oldham is approx. £1.38m for 2025/26. This is the
fourth year of funding as a national initiative which seeks to
enhance and connect a range of services that support families at
universal and targeted level in deprived local authorities. There
is an expectation that the investment will be evaluated. It has
been agreed that through a competitive procurement process, an
evaluation partner would be commissioned to undertake this work.
The allocated Family Hubs budget for evaluation is
£67k.
