On average 105 babies are born every month across the Borough. Every 7 hours a new life draws their first breath somewhere in Redcar & Cleveland.
We know the early years are crucial for a child’s development. We want every child to have the best possible start in life.
Help is out there to support parents, carers and others, but we know not everyone knows how to find it, so we designed The Best Start Family Hub Challenge to showcase the fantastic support-path opportunities.
By undertaking a series of fun and engaging challenges you will learn first hand what help is available, and when complete you will be entered into a draw to win a £250.00 Red-Letter day experience of your choice, subject to terms, for you, your family, or you may want to gift to a loved one?
Experiences include, hot-air balloon ride, bungee jump, spa-day, drive a super car, plus many more… so why not start today and take the Best Start Family Hub Challenge?
