The doors to a brand-new Roehampton Family Hub were opened today by Councillor Simon Hogg, the Leader of Wandsworth Council, creating a newly refurbished and welcoming space for families to access vital free services under one roof.
The Hub’s facilities include a dedicated youth room and IT area, equipped with upgraded wi-fi, where residents can study, job search, or simply browse online.
The Family Hub is one of the first major improvements promised as part of the Alton Renewal Plan which sets out how Wandsworth Council is investing in the Roehampton community and its future.
The council says the new facility reflects efforts to work in partnership to provide the expertise, resources, and support necessary for residents to thrive.
Councillor Kate Stock, Cabinet Member for Children, said: “The Roehampton Family Hub is not just a building – it is a commitment to every family, every parent, and every young person in this community. It’s a space where everyone is welcome and can find the support they need to succeed and grow.
“We’ve listened closely to the community’s requests for better facilities and services, and this Hub is a reflection of our deep commitment to investing in Roehampton and the Alton estate. We believe that by investing in spaces like this, we’re investing in the future of our community.”
Kate Moon, Chief Executive of Little Village, one of the Hub’s partners, said: “We are delighted to be continuing our Bundles in Partnership programme, providing clothes and other essentials to babies and children under five, from the Roehampton Family Hub. Our mission of “bringing about change for children and families through the power of sharing, reusing, and connecting” is right at the heart of this community space and it is incredible to see the range of services on offer here to the residents of Roehampton.”
