Tooting welcomes new community venue aiming to streamline support
Families in Tooting have a new place to turn for support in the heart of their community.
The Tooting Family Hub in Beechcroft Road launched today with a celebration attended by Mayor of London Sadiq Khan and Tooting MP Dr Rosena Allin-Khan.
The new community venue aims to bring essential services for parents, young people, and children under one roof, offering everything from parenting advice and early-years support to youth services, health checks, digital skills and job training.
Dr Venessa Swaby from A2ndVoice, a not-for-profit organisation supporting families in Tooting, said: “The new Family Hub in Tooting provides a safe and welcoming space where people of all ages can unite, access free services, and build meaningful connections under one roof.”
Community-led projects like the Rackets Cubed Social Supermarket will also be hosted, where families struggling to make ends meet can shop for groceries at a fraction of the price.
This comes after the successful launch of two other community centres in the borough, the Yvonne Carr Family Hub in Battersea and the Roehampton Family Hub.
Kate Stock, Cabinet Member for Children, said: “The Tooting Family Hub is all about making life easier for local families. It’s a place where parents, carers, and young people can come for advice, support, or simply a friendly face.
“Built by the community, for the community, it means every family in Tooting has somewhere to turn so that every child can get the best possible start in life.”
