Helping You With Family Life

Did you know that Connecting County Durham can help you find lots of groups and organisations that might be useful for you and your family?

The directory can help you find everyday services, such as:

• Local schools and nurseries
• Childcare and childminders
• Tutors for school subjects or hobbies like music
• Activity groups like Scouts, dance schools, or karate

It also includes organisations that can support you during harder times, including:

• Therapists
• Neurodiversity support groups
• Disability organisations
• Relationship support
• Health and wellbeing services

If you want more than just contact details, you can also find information about family courses, sessions, and practical advice through our Family Hubs. Their contact details are listed in the directory, and you can find even more helpful information at: www.durham.gov.uk/helpforfamilies

Here you’ll find links to all 15 Family Hubs across the county. You can also see their “What’s On” guides, and find extra help with things like:

• money
• childcare
• mental health
• education and training
