Defence launches the Families Hub – an information portal to help navigate Service family life

The Families Hub – which signposts to information, support and organisations to help navigate all stages of Service family life – has launched.

For the first time, Armed Forces families will be able to access a “one stop shop” digital platform – which signposts to a wealth of information, support and organisations – to help you navigate Service family life.

The Families Hub is for all Armed Forces (Regular and Reserve) families and personnel – from the moment of entering the Forces, through to leaving.

Visit the Families Hub today and explore a range of topics, including partner support, housing, health and wellbeing, childcare and finance.

Fussy Eating Campaign

 

Next Monday sees the start of our 'Fussy Eating' campaign. This campaign was developed in response to feedback from Early Years educators, Primary Schools, Health Visitors, and School Nurses, highlighting a growing concern about childhood fussy eating.

 
The campaign focuses on key topics such as the importance of a well-rounded diet, making food enjoyable, introducing new foods, establishing healthy mealtime routines, and celebrating small achievements.

 
Please find a comms plan and supporting images attached. I have also attached a campaign poster, for you to print or share with your communities.

Don't forget you can also view this and any other campaign on our Family Hub!
