  • links to other providers, Jobcentre Plus and Childcare Information Service

The above services are known as the Core Offer.

  • citizens' advice, financial advice/debt management, teenage pregnancy groups
  • parents, carers, and toddler groups
  • baby massage
  • access to information and ICT facilities
