The Hub will welcome parents, carers, babies and toddlers to enjoy an extensive range of activities and offer full support across the community.
The new centre will bring together Radius Housing, Skeoge Community Association, Greater Shantallow Area Partnership, SureStart (Shantallow) and Foyle Network Foundation to help families connect with services and with each other.
Some of the services on offer include the delivery of baby massage and baby yoga by SureStart (Shantallow) as well as a Health Visiting Clinic.
Foyle Network Foundation will provide a Fortnightly Baby Hub, and the Skeoge Community Hub staff will facilitate the Skeoge Mummy and Me Stay and Play Group.
Speaking at Friday’s launch, Nicola Mullan, Manager, Skeoge Community Hub and Glenabbey Early Years and Parenting Hub, said: “We want Glenabbey to be a welcoming place where families can drop in, meet other parents and access support close to home.
“Each partner brings something valuable, and together we can offer families more than any one organisation could on its own.
‘The Glenabbey Hub will continue working with local partners to develop its early years and parenting offer around what families need, concluded Mrs. Mullan.”
